Davenport Nursing And Rehab Center

Davenport Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, so it is worth understanding what each one tells you. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility's record of citations from state inspections is about average - inspectors found neither an unusually clean record nor a concerning pattern of violations. Staffing also comes in at 3 stars, which means residents receive an average amount of nurse time relative to the number of people living there - not a red flag, but families who prioritize hands-on attention may want to ask how staffing levels look on evenings and weekends. Where the facility truly stands out is quality measures, earning a perfect 5 stars. This score reflects outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks - things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure sores, and minimizes unnecessary hospitalizations - and a top score here suggests residents are genuinely well cared for in day-to-day health terms.

The reason the overall rating lands at 4 stars despite two average sub-scores is that quality measures carries significant weight in how CMS calculates the composite. Practically speaking, this profile suggests a facility that delivers strong health outcomes for residents, even if staffing levels and inspection results are middle-of-the-road. For most families, that combination is reassuring, though it is still worth touring the facility, asking about staff turnover, and reviewing the specific inspection reports on the CMS Care Compare website before making a final decision.

Staffing at Davenport Nursing And Rehab Center is a bit of a mixed picture. On the registered nurse side, residents here actually get more one-on-one time with an RN than you might expect, with about 0.85 hours per resident each day compared to the Florida average of 0.52. That difference can matter in real, everyday ways, since RNs handle things like medication management, wound care, and catching early signs that something might be wrong with a resident's health. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff, including CNAs and LPNs, this facility comes in at 3.22 hours per resident per day, which falls below the statewide average of 3.87 among Florida nursing homes. In practical terms, that could mean aides are juggling more residents during the busy morning routine or at mealtimes. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, but together they suggest this facility leans on a stronger RN presence while having fewer hands-on staff overall compared to similar facilities across the state.

Davenport Nursing And Rehab Center has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement. There is one government penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $8,172, with the most recent penalty dated October 4, 2023. A single penalty does not automatically signal a troubled facility, but it is worth asking the staff directly about what led to that citation and what steps were taken to correct it. Families should weigh this history alongside other factors like staffing levels, resident reviews, and in-person visits before making a decision.
