Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Day

Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Daytona earns an impressive 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall number is a composite built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each piece on its own. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the building is generally being run safely and responsibly. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks like wound care, medication management, and residents' physical functioning. In plain terms, the people living here tend to fare well health-wise compared to residents at other nursing homes. The one area worth paying attention to is staffing, which sits at 2 stars, meaning the number of nursing hours per resident is below average. For families, that can translate to nurses and aides having less time to spend with each individual resident day to day. It does not necessarily mean the care is poor, especially given the strong quality outcomes, but it is a fair question to raise when you visit. Ask about typical staffing levels on evenings and weekends, since those shifts often see fewer staff. Overall, the 5-star composite reflects that this facility performs well in the big picture, but the staffing number is worth keeping in mind as you make your decision.
