Watercrest Buena Vista

Watercrest Buena Vista is an assisted living facility located at 5867 East County Road 466 in The Villages, Florida, within Sumter County. The facility operates with 130 certified beds and serves residents requiring assisted living care and support services. The Villages is a large master-planned retirement community, and Watercrest Buena Vista is one of several senior care options situated within or near its boundaries. CMS star rating data, including overall rating, health inspection rating, staffing rating, and quality measure rating, are not currently available in the public dataset for this facility. This may reflect the facility type, reporting timelines, or classification differences between nursing home and assisted living oversight. Assisted living facilities in Florida are regulated and licensed through the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) rather than through the federal CMS nursing home compare program, which accounts for the absence of CMS star ratings in many cases. Prospective residents and families are encouraged to consult AHCA directly for the most current licensing status and inspection records applicable to this facility. Ownership type information is not listed in the available data for Watercrest Buena Vista. Interested parties may contact the facility directly at (352) 561-8450 to inquire about ownership structure, management, and operational details. The facility is currently listed as active. Regarding payment and insurance, specific information about accepted payment methods has not been provided in the current dataset. Assisted living facilities in Florida commonly accept private pay arrangements, and some may work with long-term care insurance policies. Medicaid coverage for assisted living in Florida is administered through specific waiver programs, such as the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program, and availability varies by facility. Families should contact the facility directly to confirm which payment sources are accepted. Because CMS star ratings are not available for Watercrest Buena Vista, a direct comparison to Florida state averages for those metrics cannot be made. Florida's assisted living sector is regulated separately from skilled nursing facilities, and AHCA maintains its own inspection and licensing framework for facilities such as this one. The state of Florida has a large and diverse assisted living market, particularly in retirement-dense regions such as Sumter County and The Villages corridor. With 130 certified beds, Watercrest Buena Vista represents a mid-to-large size assisted living operation relative to the broader state inventory. Additional data, when made available through regulatory agencies, would allow for more complete comparison to statewide benchmarks.
