Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek is an assisted living facility located at 231 NW Highway 19 in Crystal River, Florida, within Citrus County. The facility operates with 72 certified beds and provides residential care services to seniors in the surrounding region. Cedar Creek holds an active status, indicating it is currently operational and licensed to serve residents. As an assisted living facility, Cedar Creek falls under the regulatory oversight of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) rather than the federal CMS nursing home certification framework. Accordingly, the facility does not carry CMS star ratings for overall performance, health inspections, staffing, or quality measures. Those rating categories apply specifically to Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facilities. Prospective residents and their families seeking detailed inspection history and compliance records for Cedar Creek may reference AHCA's publicly available licensing and survey documentation. The facility's active license status confirms it meets current state requirements to operate as an assisted living facility in Florida. Regarding payment and insurance options, assisted living facilities in Florida typically operate on a private pay basis, with residents covering costs through personal funds, long-term care insurance, or other private arrangements. Some assisted living facilities in Florida may participate in the Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver program, which can help eligible low-income seniors offset costs. It is advisable to contact Cedar Creek directly at (352) 564-2446 to confirm which payment sources are accepted, as participation in public programs varies by facility. Because Cedar Creek is classified as an assisted living facility rather than a skilled nursing facility, direct comparisons using CMS star rating averages for Florida are not applicable. Florida has one of the largest assisted living industries in the country, with hundreds of licensed facilities operating across the state under AHCA oversight. Within Citrus County, Cedar Creek represents one of several assisted living options available to seniors seeking supportive residential care. The facility's 72-bed capacity places it in a mid-range size category relative to Florida's broader assisted living landscape, where facilities range from small family-style homes to large campus-based communities. Those researching care options in the Crystal River area may find it useful to review AHCA survey results and complaint histories alongside any other available facility-specific information.
