Aviata At Brentwood

Aviata At Brentwood holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and here all three land in the same place. The health inspection rating of 2 stars reflects that state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations or more serious violations during their visits, which can point to concerns about safety protocols and care practices. The staffing rating of 2 stars means nurses are spending fewer hours with residents than you'd typically see at a comparable facility, which can affect how quickly staff respond to needs and how closely residents are monitored day to day. The quality measures rating of 2 stars is based on 15 clinical indicators, things like rates of falls, pressure wounds, infections, and other health outcomes, and scoring below average here suggests residents may be experiencing more of these issues than at higher-rated homes.

For families considering Aviata At Brentwood, the consistency of below-average scores across all three categories is worth taking seriously. No single low score is being offset by a stronger area elsewhere. That doesn't automatically mean the facility is the wrong choice for your loved one, but it does mean you'll want to ask pointed questions during a tour, request recent inspection reports, and pay close attention to how staff interact with residents when you visit.

Staffing at Aviata At Brentwood falls a bit below what you'd typically see at Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 3.21 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, and registered nurse coverage comes in at 0.37 hours per resident daily versus the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, that gap in RN time is noticeable - a registered nurse is a higher-level clinician who can catch changes in a resident's condition faster and make more complex care decisions, so having fewer of those hours in the day means staff may be stretched a bit thinner on that front. The overall nurse staffing difference is moderate rather than dramatic, but it's worth asking the facility how they structure their shifts and how quickly a nurse responds when a resident needs attention, especially overnight.

Aviata At Brentwood has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is worth paying attention to as you weigh your options. That said, the facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning inspectors have not found violations serious enough to result in formal enforcement action. The lower star rating likely reflects findings noted during routine inspections, but those findings did not cross the threshold that triggers penalties. Families should take both pieces of information together - the rating suggests some concerns have been documented, but the clean penalty record is a positive sign. Asking the facility directly about recent inspection reports is a reasonable next step.
