Port Orange Nursing And Rehab Center

Port Orange Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell a different part of the story. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors have found a higher-than-average number of citations or more serious violations during their visits - something families should look into more closely, since inspection reports are publicly available and show exactly what was flagged. The staffing rating is 1 star, the lowest possible, which signals that nurses and aides are spending significantly fewer hours per resident than what's typical. In practical terms, that can mean longer waits for help, less one-on-one attention, and heavier workloads for the staff who are there.

The one bright spot is a 5-star quality measures rating, which is the highest score possible. This rating is based on 15 clinical outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and pain management, and a top score suggests that residents are experiencing strong health outcomes despite the staffing and inspection concerns. It's an encouraging sign, but families should weigh it carefully alongside the other ratings. A facility can show good clinical numbers while still having issues with day-to-day staffing levels and regulatory compliance. If you're considering this facility, it would be worth visiting in person, reviewing the full inspection report on Medicare's Care Compare site, and asking the facility directly how they are addressing their staffing challenges.

Port Orange Nursing And Rehab Center provides about 3.55 total nurse hours per resident each day, which falls a bit below the 3.87-hour average seen across Florida nursing homes. The registered nurse coverage is where the gap is more noticeable - residents here receive around 0.35 RN hours per day compared to the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, RNs handle more complex medical decisions and assessments, so slightly less RN time can mean those higher-level needs get addressed less frequently during a typical day. The broader nursing team, which includes CNAs and LPNs who handle much of the hands-on daily care, is closer to average, so routine tasks like bathing, meals, and mobility assistance are likely covered at a fairly typical level. Families with loved ones who have more involved medical needs may want to ask the facility directly how RN oversight is structured throughout the day and night.

Port Orange Nursing And Rehab Center carries a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth paying attention to. That said, the facility has no penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning inspectors have not found violations serious enough to result in formal financial consequences. The lower inspection rating likely reflects cited deficiencies found during routine surveys, but those issues did not rise to the level of penalized violations. For families, this is a mixed picture - the inspection rating suggests the facility has room for improvement, but the clean penalty record is a reasonable sign that major compliance failures have not occurred. Still, a below-average rating is worth discussing directly with the facility when you visit.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do when you have an open shift - do you bring in agency staff or ask your regular employees to cover it?
3. If my family member falls or has a medical emergency overnight, who is physically in the building and how quickly can a nurse reach them?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who doesn't have therapy scheduled - what would they be doing from morning until dinner?
5. In the last year, has this facility been cited for any deficiencies by the state, and if so, what specifically changed as a result?
6. If my family member is unhappy here or has a complaint about their care, who do they or I talk to, and can you give me an example of a complaint that was resolved recently?
