Elison Assisted Living of Bella Vita is located at 1420 East Venice Avenue in Venice, Florida. According to its website this ALF is a Sagora Senior Living community.

All assisted living facilities in Florida are periodically inspected by workers with the Agency for Health Care Administration. A standard inspection occurs roughly every fifteen months while a complaint investigation normally occurs shortly after a complaint is brought to the attention of the Agency. Both types of inspections are done on an unannounced basis. In other words, investigators show up without notice and begin their inspection by speaking with staff and administration, auditing resident records and speaking with residents and their family members.
