Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (87% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 28 days.
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.
Oak Hammock at the University of Florida is legally operated by Oak Hammock At The Univ. Of Fl. Inc, and administered by Brittany Matus-Ray.
