The Retreat at Fort Walton Beach is an assisted living facility located at 243 Hollywood Blvd NW in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, within Okaloosa County. The facility operates with a certified capacity of 130 beds and is currently listed as an active provider in the state of Florida. Specific ownership type information is not available in current public records for this facility.
CMS star ratings for overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures are not currently available for The Retreat at Fort Walton Beach 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. Consumers seeking inspection history or licensing details 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 holds an active status under Florida state oversight.
Regarding payment options, detailed insurance and payment acceptance information specific to this facility is not included in the current dataset. Assisted living facilities in Florida generally accept a combination of private pay, long-term care insurance, and in some cases Veterans Affairs benefits. Medicaid coverage for assisted living services in Florida may be available through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program, though eligibility and provider participation vary. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (850) 243-3333 to confirm accepted payment methods.
Because CMS star ratings are not available for this facility, a direct numerical comparison to Florida state averages for overall rating, staffing, health inspections, or quality measures cannot be provided. Florida's assisted living sector is regulated separately from skilled nursing facilities, and performance benchmarking relies on state-level survey data rather than the federal CMS rating system. For reference, Florida skilled nursing facilities hold an average overall CMS star rating of approximately 3.0 out of 5.0, though this figure applies to a different category of care than what The Retreat at Fort Walton Beach provides. Individuals researching care options in the Fort Walton Beach area may wish to review inspection reports and any available complaint history through the Florida AHCA online portal to supplement the information available here.

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 1โ5 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.
