Oak Valley Assisted Living Facility

Washington County, in the Florida Panhandle north of Panama City, is largely rural, covered in timberland and farms rather than subdivisions, and Vernon, where Oak Valley Assisted Living Facility sits on Hwy 79, is one of its smaller towns. The facility is licensed for 21 beds, a small-community size that generally supports a couple of shared common rooms and a caregiver team large enough to divide some duties, though still far from a large campus. Rural Panhandle communities like this one are often a considerable drive from the nearest large hospital, which is a fact families should weigh directly. It is worth asking which hospital the facility partners with and how far that drive typically takes.
