THE HERON OF LONGWOOD — Assisted Living in Longwood, Florida
The Heron of Longwood is a 88-bed assisted living facility in Longwood, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 4 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 9 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. It has operated under 1031cf Longwood Opco LLC for about 1 year.
Serious state findings drive this low score because the facility has multiple enforcement actions on its record and the agency has substantiated a substantial share of complaints. The inspections repeatedly flagged resident care, staff training, admissions processes, food service, reporting and medication practices, and while cited deficiencies have been corrected on paper, the pattern of repeated citations and prior sanctions suggests the overall trend remains steady rather than resolved.
