Because Hamilton County's two in-county assisted living homes in Jennings (#AL9631 and #AL13490, totaling 36 LMH beds) do not hold Extended Congregate Care (ECC) or Limited Nursing Services (LNS) specialty licenses or dedicated large-campus secured memory care units, families in Jasper (32052), Jennings (32053), and White Springs (32096) utilize the immediate US-129 South (Live Oak / Dowling Park, 15–22 miles south of Jasper) and US-41 / I-75 South (Lake City, 12–28 miles south of White Springs and Jasper) long-term care corridor: (1) Suwannee County — Advent Christian Village (Dowling Park) & Live Oak Hub: 60-bed Dacier Manor at Advent Christian Village (10676 Dowling Park Dr, Live Oak, FL 32060, (386) 658-5550, AHCA License #AL7641, File #11911091, Extended Congregate Care [ECC] specialty license, ACV Health Services, LLC Sunbiz #L03000024994), CMS 5-Star 161-bed Good Samaritan Center at Advent Christian Village (10660 Lusitania Dr, Live Oak, FL 32060, (386) 658-5550, AHCA License #SNF1178096, File #36101, CMS CCN #105809, NPI #1336253020 — 2025 AHCA/NCAL Silver National Quality Award recipient with secured memory care), 52-bed Rising Oaks Assisted Living (201 NW Ranchera St, Live Oak, FL 32064, (386) 364-2273, AHCA License #AL13041, NPI #1376069658, Smith & Sorensen, LLC Sunbiz #L15000156240), CMS 4-Star 60-bed Surrey Place Care Center / Suwannee Springs Rehabilitation (110 Lee Ave SE, Live Oak, FL 32064, (386) 364-5961, AHCA License #SNF1540096, File #36103, CMS CCN #105597, NPI #1568653830), and 180-bed Live Oak Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (1620 Helvenston St SE, Live Oak, (386) 362-7860, AHCA #1314096, CCN #105613, NPI #1114671104); and (2) Columbia County — Lake City Hub (12 Miles South of White Springs): 150-bed FDVA Robert H.

Where are the closest Extended Congregate Care (ECC) assisted living and secured memory care campuses for Hamilton County seniors?
Because Hamilton County's two local Jennings ALFs (#AL9631 and #AL13490) hold Limited Mental Health (LMH) licenses rather than Extended Congregate Care (ECC) or large secured dementia units, families in Jasper and Jennings travel 16 to 22 miles south into Live Oak and Dowling Park for 60-bed ECC-licensed Dacier Manor (#AL7641, (386) 658-5550), CMS 5-Star 161-bed Good Samaritan Center (#SNF1178096, (386) 658-5550), and 52-bed Rising Oaks Assisted Living (#AL13041, (386) 364-2273). Families in White Springs and southern Hamilton County travel 12 to 15 miles south on US-41 / I-75 into Lake City for 82-bed The Canopy at Harper Lake (#AL13230, (386) 344-6985), 100-bed LNS/LMH-licensed WillowBrook Assisted Living (#AL9909, (386) 752-4454), and 150-bed ECC-licensed Robert H. Jenkins Jr. Veterans' Domiciliary Home (#AL7975, (386) 758-0600) (acceptsMedicaid: true).
