AVIATA AT SOUTH DAYTONA

Aviata At South Daytona holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall number is a composite of three separate scores, and in this case, one of those scores is pulling the total down significantly. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility has received an average number of citations during state inspections, with nothing dramatically better or worse than most homes. The quality measures rating is also 3 stars, which reflects average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and how residents are managing pain, so residents are faring about as well as you'd expect at a typical facility. The real concern here is the staffing rating of 1 star, which is the lowest possible score. This means the facility has significantly fewer nurse hours per resident than the national average. In practical terms, that can translate to longer wait times for assistance, staff stretched thin across too many residents, and less hands-on attention for each person in their care. Since staffing has a heavy influence on the overall composite score, it's largely responsible for bringing the overall rating down to 2 stars despite the average scores in other areas. If your loved one needs consistent, attentive daily care, this is something worth asking the facility directly about before making a decision.
