Fines and sanctions

Best Care Senior Living at Port Charlotte LLC was inspected 50 times between August 16, 2012 and July 21, 2026 by Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration. 19 of those visits ended with deficiencies cited and 14 with none, and 17 were follow-up visits confirming corrections. Across that history AHCA recorded 46 deficiencies, none of them in the two most serious classes. The state has taken 10 legal actions against this license, with fines totalling $34,450.

The most recent visit is recorded as “Deficiencies Corrected”. A deficiency is a rule violation recorded by a state surveyor. Follow-up visits that confirm a correction are counted separately from the visits that cited the problem, so the same issue is never counted twice.
