Facility Alert: Crest Manor Assisted Living Facility License Suspended After Dangerous Heat Exposure

Families are searching for answers after the State of Florida suspended the license of Crest Manor Assisted Living Facility in Lake Worth Beach on an emergency basis following serious alleged safety failures. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel article (and various other local news including CBS 12 and the Orlando Sentinel), Crest Manor went without functioning air conditioning for over a week, with indoor temperatures reaching the 80s and even 90s. Residents were found overheated, sweating, and dehydrated, and some were left sleeping in unsafe, unmonitored rooms even after local fire officials issued a cease-and-desist order.

As a Florida law firm focused on assisted living facility neglect and wrongful death, we believe no resident should ever suffer through conditions like this. Failing to provide air conditioning, hydration, and supervision isn’t just poor management—it’s a violation of residents’ rights under Florida law. If your loved one lived at Crest Manor and was impacted by this alleged event, or if you’ve noticed signs of neglect in another facility, we want to help you get answers—and justice.
