Aviata At Greenacres

Aviata At Greenacres holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall rating is shaped by three separate scores, and when one area drags significantly, it pulls the composite down even if other areas look better. Here, the health inspection rating is the biggest concern, also coming in at 2 stars. That score reflects the findings from state inspections, including how many citations the facility received and how serious those citations were. For families, that's worth paying close attention to, since it speaks directly to how well the facility is being run day to day and whether regulators have flagged real problems during their visits.

The brighter spot is staffing, which earned 4 stars, meaning residents are getting above-average nurse time relative to the number of people living there. That's genuinely meaningful, since more staff time typically translates to quicker responses, better personal care, and less likelihood that needs go unmet. Quality measures land at 3 stars, which is average, reflecting things like how residents are doing physically and clinically over time. Taken together, the picture for Aviata At Greenacres is mixed. Families considering this facility may find some reassurance in the staffing levels, but the inspection history is a real flag that deserves a closer look before making a decision.

Staffing at Aviata At Greenacres is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here actually get more one-on-one time with an RN than the state average, about 0.90 hours per resident per day compared to Florida's average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means a more experienced nurse is more likely to be present and available when something comes up during the day. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff, including CNAs and LPNs, the facility comes in at 3.30 hours per resident per day, which is a bit below Florida's average of 3.87. That gap in overall coverage can matter during busier times, like evenings or weekends, when residents need help with daily tasks. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it is worth asking the facility directly how they schedule staff across different shifts.

Aviata At Greenacres has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, and its penalty history is something families should take seriously. The facility has received 2 government penalties, resulting in a combined $119,362 in fines, with the most recent penalty handed down in June 2024. That is a significant dollar amount, and the fact that a penalty occurred as recently as last year means this is not an older track record that has since been cleaned up. None of this automatically rules the facility out, but it does mean families should go in with detailed questions, ask to see how the facility has responded to past citations, and consider requesting a copy of recent inspection reports before making a decision. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Green Acres on the Green Acres nursing homes and assisted living page.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift and the night shift, and has that number changed in the past year?
2. How often do residents see the same aides and nurses from week to week, or does the facility rely heavily on agency staff to fill shifts?
3. What happens when a resident falls, and can you walk me through exactly what staff do in the first hour after an incident like that?
4. If my loved one refuses a meal, misses activities for several days in a row, or seems withdrawn, who notices that and what do they do about it?
5. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and will you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what changed as a result?
6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who uses a wheelchair and has some memory loss, from the time they wake up until they go to bed?
