Lakes Of Clermont Health And Rehabilitation Center

Lakes of Clermont Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which places it above average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and it's worth understanding each one because they tell different parts of the story.

The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average when it comes to the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections. Not a red flag, but not a standout either. The staffing rating is 2 stars, which is the piece families should pay closest attention to. It means the facility has fewer nurse hours per resident than most, and in a care setting, staffing levels directly affect how quickly call lights get answered, how closely residents are monitored, and the overall quality of day-to-day attention your loved one receives. On the brighter side, the quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting that across 15 clinical and physical health outcomes, residents here are doing exceptionally well compared to peers nationwide. Things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and functional decline all factor into that score. So while staffing numbers are something worth asking the facility about directly, the strong outcomes suggest the care being delivered is producing real results for residents.

Lakes of Clermont Health and Rehabilitation Center provides more hands-on nursing care than most Florida nursing homes, which is worth noting if consistent staff attention matters to your family. Residents here receive about 4.10 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, and registered nurse coverage comes in at 0.80 hours per resident daily versus the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, that RN difference means a slightly better chance that a more highly trained nurse is available when a resident has a concern, asks a question, or needs a clinical judgment call rather than waiting for someone to become free. The total nurse hours gap is smaller but still means residents are getting a bit more combined attention from the full nursing team throughout the day. Neither number guarantees a perfect experience, but both figures suggest this facility is staffed at a level that compares favorably to what you would typically find across the state.

Lakes of Clermont Health and Rehabilitation Center has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement. There is one government penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $14,335, with the most recent penalty dated October 2023. A single penalty does not automatically signal a troubled facility, but it is worth asking the staff directly about what happened and what steps were taken to correct it. Overall, this history is neither alarming nor especially reassuring, so it makes sense to weigh it alongside other factors like staffing levels, resident reviews, and an in-person visit.
