The short answer: Pompano Beach has 13 licensed assisted living facilities with 862 licensed beds, according to the AssistedLivingFacility.com directory. Unlike most of Broward County, it is a market of mid-size and large communities rather than small homes. The things to check first are a facility's license type, its most recent inspection report, and which side of U.S. 1 it sits on, because that decides how early it evacuates in a hurricane. Ask about staff who speak your parent's language, too: two in five residents here speak a language other than English at home.
How many assisted living facilities are in Pompano Beach?
Our directory lists 13 licensed, active facilities in Pompano Beach, with 862 beds between them:
| Facility size | Pompano Beach | Broward County |
|---|---|---|
| 6 beds or fewer (residential homes) | 2 | 137 |
| 7 to 49 beds | 4 | 47 |
| 50 beds or more | 7 | 65 |
| Total facilities | 13 | 249 |
| Total licensed beds | 862 | 9,631 |
That mix is unusual. More than half of Broward's 249 facilities are six-bed homes, but in Pompano Beach seven of the 13 have 50 or more beds, and the median facility has 64. Families who want a small, homelike setting often look in neighboring cities. Coral Springs has 26 six-bed homes among its 28 facilities, and Margate, Tamarac and Coconut Creek also have several. Families who want a larger community with activities and a dining room will find most of their options in Pompano Beach itself, or in Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton to the north. Our comparison of large and small facilities covers the trade-offs.

Who lives in Pompano Beach?
Pompano Beach had 117,211 residents in July 2025, and 19.3% were 65 or older, close to Broward County's 19.5% (Census QuickFacts). It is also one of the most international cities in the county. About 34% of residents were born outside the U.S., and 41.4% speak a language other than English at home.
Census data shows which languages: about 21% of residents speak Spanish and 11.5% speak French or Haitian Creole (ACS 2020–2024). Haiti and Brazil are two of the most common birthplaces among foreign-born residents (ACS 2020–2024). If your parent is more comfortable in Spanish, Haitian Creole or Portuguese, ask each facility how many caregivers on each shift speak it, not just whether "someone" does. Our Miami family guide has more on choosing bilingual care.
Which hospitals serve Pompano Beach?
No full hospital has a Pompano Beach address on its own website, but several are a short drive away:
- Broward Health North, 201 E. Sample Road, which the hospital lists under Deerfield Beach (Broward Health), just north of the city.
- Broward Health Imperial Point, on North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale (Broward Health).
- Holy Cross Health, also on North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale (Holy Cross). It runs an urgent care in Pompano Beach.
- HCA Florida Northwest Hospital in Margate and HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital in Tamarac, to the west (HCA Florida).
Ask each facility which hospital its residents usually go to by ambulance, and whether your parent's specialists are affiliated with it.
What should we know about hurricanes?
Broward County doesn't use lettered zones. It orders evacuations in two plans (Broward County):
- Plan A (Category 1 and 2 storms): mobile homes, low-lying areas, homes beside tidal waters, and "residents east of the Intracoastal Waterway."
- Plan B (Category 3 and up): "all residents east of U.S. 1 (Federal Highway)."
So a facility east of Federal Highway may have to move residents in a strong storm, while one further inland may shelter in place. Ask where the facility evacuates to, how residents are transported, and how families are told.
Every Florida assisted living facility must also have backup power able to keep the air "at or below 81 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of ninety-six (96) hours" if the power fails (rule 59A-36.025). Facilities with 17 or more beds must store 72 hours of fuel on site. FloridaHealthFinder shows an "Emergency Power Plan Summary" on each facility's profile (FloridaHealthFinder). Our hurricane questions guide lists the rest.
How do we check a facility's record?
Search the facility on FloridaHealthFinder. A profile includes the owner, the administrator, "emergency and legal actions (if applicable)" and "a link to inspection reports." You can also compare assisted living facilities "by bed size, special services, number of complaints, sanction history and final orders" (FloridaHealthFinder FAQ).
Florida inspects facilities without notice at least every two years for relicensure, and a facility must give prospective residents and their families "a copy of the last inspection report" on request (s. 408.811). Ask for it on your tour. Then check which licenses the facility holds. A standard license alone means your parent may have to move if their needs grow. Our guide to Florida license types explains ECC, LNS and the rest, and our license check guide walks through the reports.
Getting around and visiting
- Tri-Rail stops at Pompano Beach Station, 3301 NW 8th Avenue (Tri-Rail). Relatives flying into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International can ride Tri-Rail from the airport station, which has a free shuttle to the terminals (Tri-Rail).
- TOPS!, Broward County Transit's paratransit service, offers shared door-to-door rides for people whose disability prevents them from using the bus. Eligibility needs an in-person functional assessment, and a one-way fare is $3.50 (Broward County Transit). Visitors already eligible for paratransit elsewhere can use it for 21 days a year.
- The city's Senior Activity Center offers free membership to Pompano Beach residents, and its Senior Citizens Club has more than 200 members (City of Pompano Beach). That's worth knowing if your parent will move into independent or assisted living in the city and still wants outside activities.
Who can help us plan?
Call the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, the county's Aging and Disability Resource Center, at 954-745-9779 (ADRC Broward). It screens for Florida Medicaid's long-term care program and offers free Medicare counseling. Broward is in Medicaid long-term care Region H (s. 409.966), so check that a facility contracts with a Region H plan if your parent may need Medicaid later. Our Medicaid guide explains how that works.
Broward County's Elderly and Veterans Services Division takes calls for its programs at 954-357-6622 and helps veterans with Aid and Attendance claims (Broward County). Pompano Beach is home to about 4,300 veterans, so it's worth a call. Our Aid and Attendance guide has the 2026 rates.
A simple plan for Pompano Beach
- Decide on size first: a six-bed home (mostly in nearby cities) or a larger community (mostly in Pompano Beach).
- Shortlist three to five facilities on our Pompano Beach page and check each one on FloridaHealthFinder.
- Note which side of U.S. 1 each one is on, and ask about its evacuation plan.
- Tour at mealtime and ask about language, staffing at night, and the last three years of rate increases.
- Bring our tour checklist, and compare with Fort Lauderdale if you want more choice.
