Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Day

Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Daytona earns an impressive 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall number is a composite built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each piece on its own. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the building is generally being run safely and responsibly. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks like wound care, medication management, and residents' physical functioning. In plain terms, the people living here tend to fare well health-wise compared to residents at other nursing homes.

The one area worth paying attention to is staffing, which sits at 2 stars, meaning the number of nursing hours per resident is below average. For families, that can translate to nurses and aides having less time to spend with each individual resident day to day. It does not necessarily mean the care is poor, especially given the strong quality outcomes, but it is a fair question to raise when you visit. Ask about typical staffing levels on evenings and weekends, since those shifts often see fewer staff. Overall, the 5-star composite reflects that this facility performs well in the big picture, but the staffing number is worth keeping in mind as you make your decision.

Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Day sits a bit above the Florida average when it comes to registered nurse coverage, with RNs spending about 0.57 hours per resident each day compared to the state average of 0.52 hours. That small difference can matter in practice, since RNs handle more complex medical decisions and assessments. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff types, this facility comes in at 3.47 hours per resident per day, which falls below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. For families, that gap is worth thinking about, because total nursing hours reflect how much hands-on care and attention residents receive throughout the day from the full care team combined. Compared to other Florida nursing homes, residents here get a bit more time with a highly trained RN but somewhat less overall nursing contact across a typical 24-hour period. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it is worth asking the facility directly how they staff overnight shifts and on weekends, when coverage at many facilities tends to thin out.

Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Day has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which is above average and suggests state inspectors have found this facility to be generally well-run and in good standing. There are no government penalties on record and no fines have been issued, which is a reassuring sign for families weighing their options. While no facility is perfect and inspections only capture a snapshot in time, the absence of any penalty history here is a positive indicator worth noting.
