Daytona Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center

Daytona Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which puts it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case the picture is a bit mixed. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors have cited the facility for a higher number or more serious deficiencies than most homes. That's the piece that pulls the overall rating down, and it's worth paying close attention to, since those citations can reflect real concerns about care standards and safety practices.

On the brighter side, the staffing and quality measures ratings both come in at 4 stars, which is above average. The staffing score means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents relative to the number of people living there, which often translates to more attentive, responsive day-to-day care. The quality measures score looks at 15 clinical outcomes, things like how residents fare with mobility, pain management, infections, and hospitalizations, and a 4-star score there suggests residents are generally doing well on those health indicators. For families, this means the facility has genuine strengths, but the inspection history is a real concern that deserves a closer look before making a decision.

Staffing at Daytona Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center is a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the positive side, residents here receive about 4.01 total nurse hours per day, which is slightly above the Florida average of 3.87 hours, meaning hands-on care from the full nursing team is a bit more generous than what you'd typically find across the state. However, the registered nurse hours tell a different story. RNs, who handle more complex medical decisions and assessments, log only 0.35 hours per resident per day here, compared to the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that gap means a higher-level nurse may be stretched across more residents on any given shift, which could matter if your loved one has complicated medical needs or requires frequent clinical attention. The overall nursing hours are reassuring, but families should ask how that time is distributed among RNs, licensed practical nurses, and aides when touring the facility.

Daytona Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which puts it below average and is worth taking seriously. There is one penalty on record, and it is a significant one - a fine of $261,550 that was issued in April 2023. A fine of that size typically reflects a serious deficiency finding, not a minor paperwork issue, so families should ask the facility directly about what led to that penalty and what has changed since then. This does not automatically mean the facility is the wrong choice for your loved one, but it does mean you will want to go in with specific questions and ideally visit in person before making a decision. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Daytona Beach on the Daytona Beach nursing homes and assisted living page.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing aide care for during the day shift, and does that number go up at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nurses and aides been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a fall or a medical concern overnight, who responds and how quickly, and can you walk me through what happened the last time that occurred?
4. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who doesn't have scheduled therapy, and how do you make sure they're not just sitting in their room?
5. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that showed up and what you changed because of them?
6. If my loved one's condition gets worse or their needs change, how do you communicate that to our family, and who is our main point of contact when we have concerns?
