Overview of Oak Hammock at the University of Florida

Oak Hammock at the University of Florida is an 80-bed, non-profit senior community offering assisted living, memory care, and short-term rehabilitation. The campus provides wellness programming, special interest groups, and university-affiliated learning opportunities designed to support personal and educational engagement for residents.

State records compiled over a 10-year period show a total of 15 deficiencies across 17 separate evaluations. This tracks out to 1.5 citations per year, which is 68% better than the Florida state baseline. Because 16 of the 17 visits turned up at least one minor infraction, the property has a low historical zero citations-per-inspection rate for completely flawless reviews. Most past citations involved physical plant upkeep, administrative paperwork, or emergency planning, and the facility has systematically resolved these issues under a “Deficiencies Corrected” status.

The latest inspection from January 2025 flagged minor infractions that currently have corrective actions underway. Over its operational history, the community has never faced severe enforcement actions and has been penalized a total of $1,750 in state fines.

Families evaluating regional elder care options can view this long-term dataset as evidence of consistent, average-beating compliance. Since the early 2025 report indicates that a few routine building or administrative fixes are currently being resolved by the team, asking the admissions director for an update on these specific corrections is a helpful step. Planning a walkthrough of the campus will also allow you to examine the rehabilitation facilities firsthand and see how the community structures its daily educational activities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Florida

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Florida Medicaid cover assisted living?

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Florida) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 1049 assisted living facilities in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Florida?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Florida, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Florida?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
