Sunburst Community Care-Lakeland Hills Llc

Sunburst Community Care-Lakeland Hills LLC is an assisted living facility located at 2111 Lakeland Hills Blvd in Lakeland, Florida 33805, within Polk County. The facility operates with a licensed capacity of 95 certified beds and is classified as an Assisted Living Facility under Florida regulatory guidelines. The facility can be reached by phone at (863) 688-1126. As an assisted living facility, Sunburst Community Care-Lakeland Hills LLC is regulated at the state level through the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) rather than through the federal CMS nursing home certification program. Because of this classification, 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 inspection history and licensing status for this facility may consult AHCA's publicly available records, which include survey findings and current licensure information for assisted living facilities operating in Florida. Regarding payment options, assisted living facilities in Florida generally operate outside of traditional Medicare coverage for room and board services, as Medicare does not typically fund assisted living care. Residents at facilities of this type commonly use private pay arrangements, long-term care insurance policies, or, in some cases, Medicaid waiver programs where applicable. Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program may provide coverage for eligible individuals in certain assisted living settings. Specific payment options accepted at this facility should be confirmed directly with facility administration. Assisted living facilities in Florida are subject to state licensure and inspection requirements distinct from those governing skilled nursing facilities. Florida has a substantial and growing assisted living sector, with hundreds of licensed facilities operating throughout the state. Sunburst Community Care-Lakeland Hills LLC, with its 95-bed capacity, falls within a mid-range size category relative to the broader Florida assisted living landscape, where facility sizes vary widely from small residential settings to large multi-unit campuses. Because CMS comparative data does not apply to this facility type, direct inquiries to AHCA and on-site visits remain the primary tools for gathering operational and compliance information about this location.
