There are three assisted living facilities (ALFs) within the city limits and 51 nearby in cities like Saint Marys, Georgia, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville and Hilliard. These facilities are regulated by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to ensure seniors receive adequate care. In Fernandina Beach and else where in Florida, ALFs provide an array of services for seniors, including housing, supportive services, medical assistance, meals and personal care.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fernandina Beach
