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.

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	43m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 18m per day	▲ 64% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	3h 10m per day	▲ 35% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	4h 42m per day	▲ 33% State avg: 3h 32m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	5m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	25m per day	▼ 23% State avg: 32m per day · National avg: 29m per day
