Meridian At Brandon The

Meridian At Brandon The is a 156-bed Assisted Living in Tampa, Florida, holding a license from the state Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA license #13695). On this page we lay out what the public record shows and how your family can size it up.

How Florida regulates assisted livings

In Florida, assisted living is licensed by AHCA under Chapter 429, F.S. Communities hold a Standard license, or an Extended Congregate Care (ECC) or Limited Nursing Services (LNS) license that lets residents stay as needs increase, plus a Limited Mental Health (LMH) designation where relevant. Always verify the exact license type — it determines how long your parent can remain as care needs grow.

Tampa location & hospital context

Tampa is the metro's urban core and Hillsborough County seat, with roughly 400,000 residents and a fast-growing 65+ population concentrated in South Tampa, Carrollwood, and New Tampa.

Proximity matters for hospital discharges, emergencies, and specialist visits, so families weighing Meridian At Brandon The often factor drive time to these.

What assisted living costs near Meridian At Brandon The

Assisted Living in the Tampa area typically runs $3,500–$5,500/month (2026). Pricing at any specific community depends on care level, room type, and size. Florida's SMMC Long-Term Care Medicaid waiver and VA Aid & Attendance can offset much of the care cost for those who qualify — ask us what applies.

How to evaluate Meridian At Brandon The

At an assisted living community, the clearest quality signals are staffing and transparency — not the chandeliers. Pin down the awake-overnight staffing level, how often caregivers leave, and how long the key leaders have stayed. Ask for an itemized, all-in monthly figure for your parent's exact care level, and learn what pushes a resident into a higher, pricier tier. Dig into how the community responds to a decline — a fall, new incontinence, or slipping memory — and how it keeps families in the loop. Come back more than once, unannounced and at different hours, and read the AHCA inspection history on FloridaHealthFinder for any pattern of repeat deficiencies before you sign on.

Is Meridian At Brandon The the right fit?
