Palm Garden Of Aventura

Palm Garden of Aventura holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors have found relatively few problems, and the ones they did find were not especially serious. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you that nurses are spending a solid amount of time with residents relative to how many people live there. More staff time generally means quicker responses to needs and more attentive day-to-day care. The one area worth a closer look is the quality measures rating, which sits at 2 stars, or below average. This score is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like whether residents are experiencing pain, losing too much weight, developing pressure sores, or declining in mobility. A lower score here does not necessarily mean care is poor across the board, but it does suggest that some health outcomes for residents are not keeping pace with what you would hope to see. When visiting or speaking with the facility, it would be worth asking specifically about how they track and address these kinds of outcomes for their current residents.
