Debary Health And Rehabilitation Center

Debary Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above most facilities nationwide. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, so it helps to look at each one individually to get a clear picture. 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 facility is being run responsibly and residents are in a safe environment. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and other markers of residents' physical health and wellbeing. Practically speaking, that score tells you the care residents are actually receiving day-to-day is producing results that are much better than average. The staffing rating lands at 3 stars, which means the number of nursing hours per resident is about average compared to other facilities. That is not a red flag, but it is worth asking the facility about how they schedule staff and how they handle busy periods.

Taken together, the strong inspection and outstanding quality outcomes carry the overall rating to 5 stars despite the average staffing score. For families, this means Debary Health And Rehabilitation Center appears to be a well-run facility where residents are genuinely thriving, even if staffing levels are not exceptional.

Staffing at Debary Health and Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, this facility actually comes in slightly above the state average, with 0.54 RN hours per resident per day compared to Florida's average of 0.52. In practical terms, that difference is small, but it does mean residents here get a touch more time with higher-level nursing staff. Where things shift is with total nurse hours, which includes aides and other nursing staff combined. The facility averages 3.31 total nurse hours per resident per day, while the Florida average sits at 3.87. That gap means that, on a typical day, residents may have somewhat less hands-on help with things like meals, mobility, bathing, and other everyday needs than they would at an average Florida facility. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, since staffing quality and consistency also matter, but it is a reasonable starting point for families thinking about day-to-day care.

Debary Health and Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, which puts it above average compared to many facilities. Just as importantly, it has no penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning inspectors have not found issues serious enough to result in any formal government action. For families researching this facility, that combination of a strong inspection rating and a clean penalty history is a reassuring sign. It does not guarantee a perfect experience, but it does suggest the facility has been meeting care standards consistently.
