Hawthorne Inn Of Ocala

Hawthorne Inn of Ocala is an assisted living facility located at 3211 SW 42nd Street in Ocala, Florida, within Marion County. The facility holds a licensed capacity of 44 certified beds and operates as an active assisted living community in the 34471 zip code. Hawthorne Inn of Ocala can be reached by phone at (352) 237-7776. As an assisted living facility, Hawthorne Inn of Ocala is regulated under Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) rather than the federal Medicare and Medicaid certification system administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Because of this regulatory classification, CMS star ratings covering overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures are not applicable to this facility and are not reported here. Prospective residents and families seeking inspection history or licensing status for this facility are directed to consult AHCA's online database, which maintains records for Florida-licensed assisted living facilities including survey and complaint history. Assisted living facilities operate under a different payment structure than Medicare-certified skilled nursing facilities. In most cases, assisted living services are funded through private pay arrangements, meaning residents or their families pay out of pocket. Long-term care insurance policies may also be applied toward the cost of assisted living, depending on the terms of individual policies. Florida's Medicaid program offers limited coverage for assisted living through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program, which may be available to eligible low-income seniors. Medicare generally does not cover room and board or custodial care services provided in assisted living settings. Because CMS comparative data is not available for this facility, a direct statistical comparison to Florida state averages for CMS-rated nursing homes is not applicable. Florida maintains a large inventory of licensed assisted living facilities throughout the state, and Marion County includes multiple options at varying care levels and price points. Hawthorne Inn of Ocala, with its 44-bed capacity, represents a relatively smaller assisted living community within the local landscape. Those evaluating this facility alongside others in the Ocala area are encouraged to review AHCA inspection records, request tours, and consult with a senior care advisor to assess how the facility meets specific care needs.
