Questions Davie families ask first
"Will I really be able to visit often?"
From Davie Town Hall on Orange Drive, the trip is about 9.2 miles and roughly 17 minutes without traffic. You can take Griffin Road to Florida's Turnpike north, exit at Sunrise Boulevard, then head up NW 56th Avenue. Allow extra time at rush hour.
"What will it cost?"
Assisted living from $3,500/month and memory care from $5,000/month. Ask about private rooms. We don't charge a buy-in fee. Our article on the cost of assisted living breaks down what monthly rates usually include.
"Do you take Medicaid?"
Yes. Along with private pay, we accept Medicaid long-term care through participating plans.
"Who is running the community now?"
Colonial Gardens was formerly Colonial Assisted Living and has been under new ownership since March 2026. The new owners remodeled rooms and bathrooms and added grab bars throughout.
Care that fits where your parent is today
Some residents mostly need a safe home with meals, company and someone nearby day and night. Others need help with bathing, dressing, moving around safely or keeping track of medications. Our assisted living services cover that day-to-day support. For a parent with Alzheimer's or another dementia, our memory care program adds a predictable routine, gentle redirection and closer supervision.
To be clear about what we are: Colonial Gardens holds a standard Florida assisted living license (AHCA #7249) with a Limited Mental Health specialty license. We are not a nursing home and don't provide nursing or medical care. Residents keep their own doctors, and outside providers come in when needed.
Trying it out with a respite stay
Many Davie caregivers start with a short respite stay, for example while they travel, recover from surgery or just need a few weeks off. It gives your parent a real feel for the community before anyone commits.
