Vivo Healthcare Clewiston

Vivo Healthcare Clewiston has an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which puts it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, the health inspection piece is pulling the total down significantly. The health inspection rating, also 2 stars, reflects the number and seriousness of citations the facility received during state inspections. More citations, or more serious ones, lead to a lower score here, and that's a concrete signal that families should ask the facility directly about what was cited and what steps have been taken to address those issues. The good news is that two of the three sub-ratings are strong. The staffing rating is 4 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents relative to the number of people living there than you'd see at most facilities. That matters day-to-day because it often translates to quicker responses and more attentive care. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, which looks at 15 clinical outcomes like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure sores, or declining mobility. Scoring above average here suggests the care residents are actually receiving is producing solid health results. So while the inspection history is a real concern worth digging into, the facility does appear to be well-staffed and delivering decent clinical outcomes.
