THE MERIDIAN AT WESTWOOD — Assisted Living in Fort Walton Beach, Florida

The Meridian at Westwood is a 150-bed assisted living facility in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 74 out of 100 (Mixed record), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 1 state sanction or final order, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care. It has operated under Pacifica Walton Beach LLC for about 10 years.

Serious (Class 1 or 2) findings are present and weigh heavily on the record, and a past state enforcement action remains a significant factor.
