About this community

Oak Hammock at the UofFL in Gainesville, Florida, is an interactive Life Plan Community on a 136-acre campus in southwest Gainesville. Its care options include independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing, bringing several residential and support settings together on one campus. Oak Hammock identifies as a nonprofit and says it reinvests in the community.

Independent living is part of the residential mix, and the community’s website announces new apartment residences at The Canopy. Its relationship with the University of Florida creates opportunities for residents to participate in classes, events and educational programs. The campus has shaded areas, greenery and wildlife, with grounds suited to walking, biking and other outdoor recreation. Oak Hammock is pet-friendly. Its southwest Gainesville location also gives residents opportunities to explore North Central Florida beyond the campus.

The grounds are poorly maintained and it’s kitchen is bad. Overall it shows its age but is still quite nice.. Gainesville is a college town poorly policed, and it lacks many of big box shopping like COSTCO. Local VA hospital is excellent as are the two commercial hospitals in town. Oak Hammock is expensive to join and its monthly fees are nearly [removed] per month.

Understaffed Used to be good in 2017 but recently horrible. Management horrible never available.
