Brookdale Destin

Brookdale Destin is an assisted living facility located at 2400 Crystal Cove Lane in Destin, Florida (ZIP 32541), situated in Walton County. The facility operates with 130 certified beds and provides assisted living services to residents in the northwest Florida region. The facility can be reached by phone at (850) 267-1600. As an assisted living facility, Brookdale Destin falls under a different regulatory framework than Medicare and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facilities. Accordingly, CMS star ratings for overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures are not applicable to this facility and are not reported in federal databases for this category of care. Individuals researching this facility are encouraged to consult the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) for current licensure status, inspection history, and any enforcement actions associated with this location. Regarding payment and insurance options, assisted living facilities like Brookdale Destin typically operate on a private-pay basis. Residents may use personal funds, long-term care insurance policies, or certain veterans' benefits to cover the cost of care. Medicare generally does not cover assisted living costs, as it is designed primarily for skilled nursing and acute medical care. Medicaid coverage for assisted living in Florida may be available through specific waiver programs, though eligibility and availability vary. Prospective residents and their families should contact the facility directly to confirm accepted payment methods and current pricing structures. Because CMS star rating data is not available for this facility, a direct comparison to Florida state averages for skilled nursing facility metrics is not applicable. Florida has a substantial number of both skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities, and performance benchmarks differ significantly between these two categories of care. For assisted living facilities specifically, the Florida AHCA maintains inspection records and complaint histories that serve as the primary public reference for evaluating facility compliance and care standards. Those seeking comparative data for assisted living providers in the Destin area may find the AHCA's online resources useful for reviewing inspection outcomes across similarly licensed facilities in Walton County and the surrounding region.
