Inn At Freedom Village, The

Inn At Freedom Village, The holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it performs at roughly an average level compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different, so it helps to understand what each one is actually measuring.

The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects how the facility has done during state inspections, specifically how many issues were found and how serious they were. Three stars here puts it in the middle of the pack, meaning inspectors have found some concerns but nothing that sets off major alarms. The staffing rating is the bright spot at 4 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you typically see at other facilities, which can make a real day-to-day difference in how well your loved one is cared for. The quality measures rating comes in at 3 stars as well, based on 15 clinical indicators like how residents are doing with things like wound care, falls, and pain management. Average there means outcomes are in line with what most facilities are achieving, but there is room for improvement. Taken together, the consistent 3-star scores in inspections and clinical outcomes are balanced out somewhat by the stronger staffing numbers, leaving the facility with a middle-of-the-road overall picture that families should dig into further with an in-person visit.

At Inn At Freedom Village, residents receive about 5.63 total nurse hours of care per day, compared to the 3.87-hour average across Florida nursing homes. That difference adds up in real ways throughout a typical day. More nursing hours generally means staff have more time to help residents with meals, medications, mobility, and personal care without feeling rushed. The registered nurse coverage is also notably higher here, at 1.01 hours per resident daily versus the state average of 0.52, which matters because RNs handle more complex medical needs and can catch health changes earlier. Overall, this facility appears to be staffed more generously than most in the state, which is worth considering if your loved one needs hands-on attention or has medical conditions that require closer monitoring.

Inn At Freedom Village has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has had some findings worth noting during government reviews. That said, there are no penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility, which is a genuinely positive sign. A clean penalty history means regulators have not found violations serious enough to warrant formal punishment, and that matters when you are trying to gauge how a facility responds to problems. Taken together, the inspection record is neither a red flag nor a standout, so families should use it as one piece of the picture while also visiting in person and asking staff directly about how they handle care concerns.
