The one we toured at Moffitt in Tampa, FL was very nice...suites with living and bedroom area and nice bathrooms....several kitchens downstairs in a community setting, library, outdoor area, etc. There was no charge and no income questions...the only requirement was that you had a caregiver live with you in the "apartment."
