Old Hammock Assisted Living
|
Oak Hammock at the University of Florida located in Gainesville, Florida is no ordinary retirement community. Not even close. Here, we have totally reinvented the concept. We’ve created an innovative Life Fulfilling Community® for the 21st century where the focus is on lifelong learning, fitness and health. Our setting is a picturesque, resort-style environment enhanced by intellectual stimulation and interesting neighbors energized by our unique affiliation with the University of Florida. Because of this affiliation, we are traditionally known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), but we are also known as a University Based Retirement Community (UBRC). As a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or UBRC, we offer a maintenance free lifestyle in our independent homes and apartments, but if you should ever need it, our contracts include access to Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and Memory Care. We’re reinventing retirement living and our community members are loving every minute of it! Want to know more?

Our History
For many years, retired faculty, alumni and friends encouraged the University of Florida to consider sponsoring a retirement community in Gainesville. Professor Gordon Streib from the Department of Sociology, a proponent of the concept, had researched the benefits of living in such a community. He and others were convinced that an affiliation with the University of Florida would further enhance the sociological and health advantages of the people who lived there.
In 1997, Dr. Streib and Dr. Ray Coward, the Director of the University of Florida Institute of Gerontology, arranged for President John Lombardi and a key group of University and Foundation staff members to attend a presentation regarding the development of a University-sponsored Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC).
The outcome of that meeting was the formation of an ad hoc committee to consider such a project for the University of Florida and to visit other CCRCs. A not-for-profit corporation was formed to separate the financial and legal obligations of the CCRC from the University.
Formal incorporation of Oak Hammock at the University of Florida, Inc. occurred in early 1999. PRAXEIS, LLC and FORCE Financial, LLC were selected to lead the development team. And the rest, as they say, is history. The landmark community opened its doors to members in the spring of 2004.

Program Options
The Life Care Advantage
Life Care at Oak Hammock means you can live independently without worrying about the future. We offer a modified life care contract that provides unlimited access to private accommodations in our Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing and Memory Support residences, if ever needed.
For a one-time entrance fee and an ongoing monthly fee, Oak Hammock members have complete peace of mind – knowing that should they ever need long-term care, it is there for their lifetime. We offer a number of options that enable you to choose the plan and the residence that works best for you – even if you need unlimited care in our Health Center. And, that translates into significant savings compared to what comparable, high-quality care would cost elsewhere in the Gainesville area. In short, with Life Care at Oak Hammock, you’ll never have to ask the question, "Will I be able to afford long-term care in the future?" The answer is "Yes!"
Guaranteed Refund Plans to Protect Your Estate
In addition to our Standard Plan, Oak Hammock offers both a 50% and 95% Refund Plan. These are equity replacement plans that enable you to return a significant portion of your entry fee to your estate . . . to yourself, if you ever leave the community . . . or to a surviving spouse should he or she choose to move.
For more details about which plan is best for you – or to schedule a tour of our Health Pavilion – please call our Information Office at 352-548-1023 or 352-548-1024.
