Cascade Heights

Cascade Heights is an assisted living facility located at 160 Islander Court in Longwood, Florida, within Seminole County. The facility operates with a capacity of 75 certified beds and serves residents in the greater Longwood area, which is part of the Orlando metropolitan region. Cascade Heights holds an active status as a licensed assisted living facility in the state of Florida. Cascade Heights is classified as an assisted living facility rather than a Medicare- or Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility. As a result, the facility does not carry CMS star ratings for overall performance, health inspections, staffing, or quality measures. These ratings are specific to skilled nursing facilities participating in the CMS Nursing Home Care Compare program. Consumers seeking inspection records or licensing data for assisted living facilities in Florida may reference the Agency for Health Care Administration, which regulates and surveys assisted living facilities operating under state licensure. The facility's active status indicates it is currently licensed to operate in the state of Florida. Because Cascade Heights is an assisted living facility rather than a Medicare- or Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility, traditional Medicare Part A coverage does not apply to the residential care services provided. Medicaid coverage for assisted living in Florida is generally limited and subject to eligibility requirements through specific waiver programs, such as the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program. Private pay and long-term care insurance are common funding sources for assisted living services. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (407) 767-6600 to inquire about accepted payment arrangements and current availability. For context, Florida has a large and varied landscape of assisted living facilities, with hundreds of licensed communities operating across the state. Seminole County, where Cascade Heights is situated, is a suburban area with a range of senior care options. Because no CMS comparative rating data is available for this facility, direct comparison to state averages using standardized metrics is not applicable in this case. Those researching assisted living options in the Longwood and Seminole County area may wish to consult the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration's facility search tool for inspection histories and additional licensing information related to state-regulated assisted living providers.
