The Heron Of Lake City

The Heron of Lake City is an assisted living facility located at 213 NW Gleason Drive in Lake City, Florida, within Columbia County. The facility operates with 82 certified beds and provides residential care services to senior adults in the Lake City area. Current records indicate the facility is active and accepting residents. CMS star rating data for The Heron of Lake City, including overall, health inspection, staffing, and quality measure ratings, is not currently available in the public dataset. This may reflect the facility type, as CMS star ratings are primarily assigned to Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facilities rather than assisted living facilities, which are regulated at the state level. Ownership type information is not reflected in the current data on file. Prospective residents and families are encouraged to consult the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration directly for the most current licensure status, inspection history, and survey results pertaining to this facility. Regarding payment options, specific insurance and payment acceptance data for The Heron of Lake City is not detailed in the current public record. Assisted living facilities in Florida typically accept a combination of private pay, long-term care insurance, and in some cases Medicaid waiver programs. Individuals seeking information about accepted payment methods should contact the facility directly at (386) 344-6985 or reach out to the Florida AHCA for guidance on applicable programs. Because CMS star ratings are not assigned to assisted living facilities in the same manner as skilled nursing facilities, a direct comparison to Florida state averages for CMS-rated metrics is not applicable in this case. Florida maintains a separate regulatory framework for assisted living facilities through the AHCA, and performance data is tracked through state inspection and complaint records rather than the federal Five-Star Quality Rating System. Families researching care options in Lake City and Columbia County may wish to review state inspection reports alongside any available facility-specific disclosures to form a comprehensive picture of care quality and compliance history at The Heron of Lake City.
