Grande Cypress ALF, LLC

Columbia County anchors the crossroads of Interstate 75 and Interstate 10 in North Florida, and Lake City, its seat, is where Grande Cypress ALF, LLC operates a 54-bed assisted living community at 970 Sw Pinemount Road. With more than fifty beds, the facility falls into a mid-size category, large enough to typically run structured group programming and multiple staff shifts, but still small enough that a resident's routine shouldn't get lost the way it might on a large campus. Lake City draws families from surrounding rural Columbia County towns who want care closer to home rather than a longer drive to Gainesville or Jacksonville. A useful question on a tour is how the facility staffs its overnight hours, since coverage ratios often shift once a community grows past fifty residents.
