The state of Florida generally maintains nursing facility averages that fall near the midpoint of CMS ratings. The facility's quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 is above the typical state average for that domain, indicating stronger performance in clinical outcome indicators. However, the overall rating of 2 and the health inspection rating of 2 are both below the Florida state average, suggesting that inspection findings have had a downward effect on the composite score. The staffing rating of 3 aligns closely with state norms. Taken together, the ratings indicate an uneven performance profile, with relative strength in clinical quality measures offset by lower scores in the health inspection and overall categories. Researchers comparing facilities in Sumter County and the surrounding area may find this data useful when evaluating options for skilled nursing or long-term care placement.
