Ventura Health And Rehabilitation Center

Ventura Health and Rehabilitation Center holds a 3-star overall rating from CMS, which puts it in the average range compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one individually to get a clearer picture. The health inspection rating is also 3 stars, meaning the facility has received a number of citations from state inspectors that lands it right around the middle of the pack. Those inspections look at things like safety, cleanliness, medication management, and resident care practices, so a middle score here is worth keeping an eye on, though it doesn't signal anything alarming.

The stronger spots are staffing and quality measures, both of which earned 4 stars. The staffing score reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive each day relative to the number of people living there, and above average here means residents generally have more access to nurses and aides than at many other facilities. The quality measures rating looks at 15 clinical outcomes like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure sores, or declines in mobility, and a 4-star score there suggests the facility is doing a solid job on those health benchmarks. Taken together, the ratings paint a picture of a facility that performs well on care delivery and resident outcomes, with a bit more room for improvement on the inspection side.

Staffing at Ventura Health and Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, this facility actually stands out in a good way, providing about 1.03 RN hours per resident each day compared to the Florida average of just 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here are more likely to have a trained RN checking in on them, catching changes in condition, and coordinating care throughout the day. However, when you look at total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and other staff who handle much of the hands-on daily care like bathing, meals, and mobility, the facility comes in at 3.54 hours per resident per day, slightly below the Florida average of 3.87. That gap may not sound large, but it can translate to staff being stretched a bit thinner during busy morning routines or shift changes. Overall, the stronger RN presence is a real positive, especially for residents with complex medical needs, but families should ask the facility directly about how they manage daily care staffing to get the full picture.

Ventura Health and Rehabilitation Center has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which means inspectors have found some areas for improvement but nothing that puts it at the bottom of the pack. The good news for families is that the facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, which tells you that any issues found during inspections have not risen to the level where regulators felt the need to take formal action. That is a reasonable sign, though a 3-star rating still suggests it is worth asking questions during a tour about how the facility has addressed past inspection findings. Overall, this is a facility with a mixed but not alarming track record.
