Wentworth Central Avenue can provide standard assisted living plus the services its ECC and LNS licenses allow. The Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license lets staff provide more hands-on and nursing-type care than a standard ALF, so a resident whose needs grow can often stay instead of moving to a nursing home. The Limited Nursing Services (LNS) license allows licensed nurses to deliver a defined list of nursing tasks in the building, such as certain assessments and treatments, beyond what a standard license permits.

In its AHCA profile the community reports a memory-care program. Florida has no separate memory-care license, so ask how the secured area is laid out and which of the dementia rules in s. 429.178, F.S. it follows. AHCA's profile lists nurse availability as: Direct 24hr. Medicaid services listed on the profile: Assisted Living Waiver, Assistive Care Services.
