Aviata At Oakfield

Aviata At Oakfield earned an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and the pieces here tell a pretty uneven story. The Health Inspection rating is 1 star, the lowest possible, meaning state inspectors found a higher number of citations, more serious ones, or both, compared to most facilities. That's the piece families tend to weigh most heavily, since it reflects what surveyors actually observed on-site. The Staffing rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending fewer hours with each resident than you'd typically see elsewhere. In practical terms, that can affect how quickly call lights get answered, how much individualized attention residents receive, and how smoothly day-to-day care is delivered.

The one bright spot is the Quality Measures rating, which is a remarkable 5 stars. This score is built from 15 clinical indicators tracking things like whether residents are developing pressure wounds, experiencing falls, losing mobility, or needing hospital visits. Scoring at the top here suggests that despite the staffing and inspection concerns, the actual health outcomes for residents have been strong. It's an encouraging sign, but families should still ask pointed questions about the inspection findings and staffing levels during a tour, since those issues carry real day-to-day implications for care.

Staffing at Aviata At Oakfield is right in line with the state when it comes to registered nurses, offering 0.53 RN hours per resident per day compared to the Florida average of 0.52, so that part of the picture looks typical. Where things differ is in total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and other nursing staff. Residents here receive about 3.21 total nurse hours per day, while the average across Florida nursing homes comes in at 3.87. In practical terms, that gap can matter in daily life. It may mean staff have a bit less time per person for tasks like helping with meals, personal care, or responding to call lights. That does not mean care is poor, but it is worth asking the facility how they manage their schedule and whether residents with higher needs feel they get enough attention throughout the day.

Aviata At Oakfield has a concerning inspection and penalty history that families should take seriously. The facility holds a 1-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is the lowest possible score and reflects a pattern of health and safety concerns found during official inspections. On top of that, the facility has received 5 government penalties resulting in a total of $52,972 in fines, with the most recent penalty issued in February 2024. That combination of a poor inspection rating, multiple financial penalties, and a recent violation is a meaningful red flag. It does not necessarily mean the facility cannot provide adequate care, but it does mean families should ask detailed questions, request recent inspection reports, and consider visiting in person before making a decision.
