Aviata at Sand Key

Aviata At Sand Key has a difficult inspection record that families should take seriously. The facility holds a 1-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is the lowest possible score and reflects a pattern of concerns found during official reviews. On top of that, the facility has received 2 government penalties totaling $169,766 in fines, with the most recent penalty issued in October 2023. That is a substantial amount in fines, and the recency of the last penalty means this is not simply old history. None of this means the facility is the wrong choice for every family, but it does mean you should go in with eyes open, ask detailed questions during any tour, and look closely at what specifically triggered these penalties before making a decision. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Clearwater on the [Clearwater nursing homes and assisted living page](/florida/clearwater).
