Elon Manor Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Elon Manor Nursing And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, two of those pieces are actually quite strong while one is pulling the number down significantly. The health inspection rating sits at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations, or more serious ones, during their visits. Those inspections look at things like care practices, safety, and regulatory compliance, so a below-average score here is something families should take seriously and look into further.

On the brighter side, the staffing and quality measures ratings both come in at 4 stars, which is above average. The staffing score reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the number of people living there, so more nurses and aides per resident generally means more attentive, responsive care on a daily basis. The quality measures score looks at 15 clinical outcomes like whether residents are developing pressure sores, losing mobility, or experiencing other health changes over time, and scoring above average there suggests the clinical side of care is performing reasonably well. For families, this means Elon Manor appears to have solid day-to-day staffing and decent resident health outcomes, but the inspection record raises real questions worth asking the facility about directly before making a decision.

Staffing at Elon Manor Nursing And Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse (RN) side, residents here get about 0.76 hours of RN time per day, which is actually higher than the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a more experienced nurse is more likely to be checking in on your loved one, catching changes in condition, and making clinical decisions throughout the day. When you look at total nurse hours, which includes aides and other nursing staff, the facility comes in at 3.78 hours per resident per day, just slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That small gap is unlikely to feel dramatic in day-to-day care, but it does mean the overall hands-on help with meals, mobility, and personal care may be just a touch thinner than what you would find at some other facilities. Overall, the stronger RN presence is a meaningful plus, even if total staffing is roughly in line with the state norm.

Elon Manor Nursing And Rehabilitation Center has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, and the government has issued 2 penalties against the facility, resulting in a combined $10,079 in fines. The most recent penalty came in December 2023, which means this isn't just old history. For families, this record suggests the facility has had real compliance issues that regulators took seriously enough to warrant financial penalties more than once. That doesn't necessarily mean care is poor day-to-day, but it does mean you'll want to ask specific questions during a visit and look closely at what those citations were actually for before making a decision.

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 your direct care staff been working here on average, and what is your turnover rate over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a concern or feels unsafe, what is the exact process for reporting it, and who follows up to make sure it was resolved?
4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and walk me through any deficiencies that were cited and what you did to correct them?
5. What does a typical day look like for a resident who has limited mobility and does not participate in group activities?
6. If my loved one's condition changes suddenly, how quickly will someone contact me, who makes that call, and is there a staff member available to speak with family members by phone after business hours?
