The facility operates with 98 certified beds and serves residents requiring assisted living care in the 32514 zip code. The facility can be reached by phone at (850) 477-6400. As an assisted living facility, The Waterford at Creekside is regulated at the state level through the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) rather than through the federal CMS nursing home certification system. Because of this classification, the facility does not carry CMS overall, health inspection, staffing, or quality measure star ratings, as those ratings apply specifically to Medicare and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facilities. Prospective residents and their families seeking inspection history and licensure status for this facility may consult AHCA public records for the most current licensing information and survey outcomes. Payment options and insurance acceptance at assisted living facilities in Florida vary by provider. Assisted living facilities generally operate on a private pay basis, though some may accept long-term care insurance, veterans benefits through the Aid and Attendance program, or other third-party funding sources. Florida Medicaid may cover certain assisted living services through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program, depending on eligibility and available capacity. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (850) 477-6400 to confirm current payment options and availability. Assisted living facilities in Florida are licensed and monitored by AHCA under Chapter 429 of the Florida Statutes. These facilities are designed to support residents who need help with activities of daily living but do not require the level of medical care provided in a skilled nursing facility. Florida has one of the largest assisted living industries in the country, with facilities ranging widely in size, amenities, and service offerings. The Waterford at Creekside, with its 98-bed capacity, represents a mid-sized assisted living option within the Pensacola metropolitan area. Escambia County, as part of the Florida Panhandle region, is home to a growing senior population, and facilities in this area operate within the broader regulatory framework that governs all licensed assisted living providers throughout the state.
