The Meridian at Westwood is an assisted living facility located at 1001 Marwalt Dr in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, within Okaloosa County. The facility operates with a licensed capacity of 150 certified beds and is classified as an assisted living facility under Florida state regulations. The facility can be reached by phone at (850) 863-5174. CMS star rating data for The Meridian at Westwood, including overall rating, health inspection rating, staffing rating, and quality measure rating, is not currently available in the public dataset. This may reflect the facility's classification as an assisted living facility, as CMS star ratings are primarily assigned to Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facilities. Prospective residents and families seeking inspection and compliance information for this facility are encouraged to consult the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, which maintains licensure and survey records for assisted living facilities operating in the state. The facility is currently listed as active in state records. As an assisted living facility, The Meridian at Westwood may accept various payment sources depending on its individual program offerings. Assisted living facilities in Florida commonly accept private pay arrangements, and some may participate in the Florida Medicaid Statewide Managed Care Long-Term Care program or accept long-term care insurance. Specific payment and insurance acceptance information should be confirmed directly with the facility, as accepted sources can vary based on licensure level and available services. Fort Walton Beach is located in the Florida Panhandle, and The Meridian at Westwood serves the broader Okaloosa County region. Because CMS comparative star rating data is not available for this facility, a direct comparison to Florida state averages for skilled nursing facilities is not applicable. Florida's assisted living sector is regulated separately from skilled nursing facilities, and performance metrics specific to assisted living are maintained through AHCA rather than through the CMS Nursing Home Compare database. Those researching care options in the Fort Walton Beach area may wish to review AHCA inspection reports and complaint histories to gain additional context about this facility's regulatory standing.

About AHCA Licensing

Florida assisted living facilities are licensed and inspected by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Unlike Medicare-certified nursing homes, ALFs are not rated on the CMS 1โ€“5 star scale.

Deficiency classes range from Class I (immediate serious harm) to Class IV (low potential for harm). Substantiated complaints are those confirmed by AHCA investigators.
