Ayers Health And Rehabilitation Center

Ayers Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star (average) rating from CMS, which is a composite picture built from three separate scores that each tell you something different about the facility. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars (below average), meaning state inspectors found more citations, or more serious ones, than you'd typically see at a comparable facility. That's worth asking the facility about directly, since it can reflect issues with care practices, safety, or facility conditions. On the other hand, staffing earns 4 stars (above average), which tells you nurses are spending more time with residents than the average facility provides. More staff time generally means residents get more attention and quicker responses to their needs. The quality measures rating is a standout 5 stars (much above average), reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical and physical health indicators, things like how residents are managing pain, mobility, and other health conditions day to day.

Putting it together, the overall 3-star rating is a blended score, so those strong staffing and quality numbers are being pulled down by the lower health inspection result. For families, that contrast is actually useful information. The day-to-day care outcomes look genuinely strong here, but the inspection history is something worth digging into before making a decision. Ask the facility what citations were cited and what steps they have taken to address them.

Staffing at Ayers Health And Rehabilitation Center is fairly close to what you'd see at most Florida nursing homes, but there are a few differences worth noting. On the registered nurse side, this facility provides about 0.82 RN hours per resident each day, which is noticeably higher than the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have more access to a higher-level nurse who can catch health changes early, manage medications, and handle more complex care needs. Total nurse hours, which includes RNs alongside licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, come in at 3.90 hours per resident per day, which is essentially on par with the state average of 3.87. So while the overall amount of hands-on care time is pretty typical for Florida, the fact that more of it comes from registered nurses could matter a lot if your loved one has ongoing medical needs that require closer clinical attention.

Ayers Health And Rehabilitation Center has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which suggests inspectors have found more concerns here than at a typical facility. There is one government penalty on record, with a fine of $24,850 issued as recently as August 2025, meaning this is not just a distant history issue. That said, one penalty does not make a facility unsafe on its own, but the combination of a low inspection rating and a recent fine is worth taking seriously as you weigh your options. It is a reasonable signal to ask the facility directly about what led to that penalty and what steps they have taken to address it.
