Hills Creek INC

Fort Pierce, the seat of St. Lucie County, sits along the Indian River Lagoon with a historic downtown that predates much of the Treasure Coast's newer development further south, and Hills Creek INC operates a 9-bed assisted living home at 308 S 30th St in one of its residential neighborhoods. Nine beds sits just above Florida's smallest licensing tier, a size where a home can still function largely as a single household but with slightly more staffing capacity than a five- or six-bed operation. Fort Pierce's older housing stock and lower cost of living compared to Port St Lucie or Stuart make it a common choice for families watching costs closely. A fair question here is how the home's staffing changes, if at all, as it moves from a handful of residents to closer to ten.
