CEDAR CREEK ASSISTED LIVING, LLC — Assisted Living in Merritt Island, Florida

Cedar Creek Assisted Living, LLC is a 78-bed assisted living facility in Merritt Island, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 2 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 4 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include 24-hour on-site nursing, limited nursing services (LNS). It accepts Medicaid and VA benefits. It has operated under Cedar Creek Assisted Living, LLC for about 3 years.

Serious Class 1 or 2 findings are present and drive the low score, and the facility also has state sanctions on its record which continue to weigh heavily. Recurring problems have centered on resident care, staffing standards, medication management, staff training, records, and admissions; recent deficiency citations have been corrected but the enforcement actions remain in place, and the pattern of fewer findings in the latest inspections suggests an improving trend.
