Oak Hammock at the University of Florida

Health care on site includes UF Health Senior Care at Oak Hammock, a geriatric primary-care practice located within the community. It is available exclusively to Oak Hammock residents age 65 and older, distinguishing it from the community’s broader age-55-and-older population. The clinic’s information says appointments are arranged through Oak Hammock; walk-in urgent care is also available. Listed services include visits for everyday health concerns, annual checkups, flu shots, physical examinations, preventive care, senior health assessments, health screenings, vaccines and memory testing. Screenings are listed for men and women age 65 and older. Evaluation areas include acute and chronic illnesses, dementia, depression in older adults, diabetes, gait and balance, memory loss and sleep disorders in older adults. The practice lists physicians Henrique Kallas and Candace Worsham, along with advanced registered nurse practitioner Tracee Williams.

The University connection gives residents opportunities to participate in educational classes, events and programs. Oak Hammock’s campus covers 136 acres, with grounds described as green and home to wildlife. The community describes walking, biking and other outdoor activities on the grounds, and its campus is pet-friendly. It also mentions outdoor adventures and playing with a dog beneath the oak trees, adding specific examples of how residents might use the grounds.

Oak Hammock describes its southwest Gainesville location as a base for exploring north-central Florida beyond campus. Gainesville’s wider university setting includes University of Florida athletics, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the Butterfly Rainforest and other museums. These are citywide points of interest rather than amenities identified on Oak Hammock’s grounds. The organization says its nonprofit status supports reinvestment in the community. Its profile brings together the University affiliation, four listed care and living options, an on-campus primary-care practice for eligible residents, and outdoor grounds; detailed apartment layouts, dining arrangements and a full amenities list are not provided in the available information.
