What to Consider About Assisted Living in Green Cove Springs
Green Cove Springs, named for the hydrological spring it sits upon, is a town in Clay County, Florida, along the St. Johns River. Seniors make up 16.9 percent of the population in this small town and are served by one assisted living facility within city limits and over 90 in the surrounding areas. In Florida, assisted living facilities are licensed through The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and are designated with standard or specialty care licenses. To qualify for an assisted living designation, a community must house seniors in a non-restrictive, home-like environment.
