Special Focus Facility

Clearwater Center is a 109-bed nonprofit home that federal regulators have placed in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. Its current file shows 22 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $76,496 fine, and its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 stars. Staffing tells its own story: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 6 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 40.2 percent is actually a little better than the national 45.8 percent, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are on deck each day.

Aviata At The Palms runs on 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 6 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 53.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is where the real concern lies: 38 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. Quality measures score well at four stars, but that reflects resident outcomes on paper, not the staffing and safety problems inspectors found. State surveyors last visited in August 2024. This is a for-profit limited liability company, and the pattern here rewards a close look before you decide.

Abuse icon on record

Aventura At The Bay runs 274 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to get around. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself manages on weekdays. Staff turnover is 62.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection history is heavier still: 62 deficiencies on the current record, seven at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse. CMS has fined this home three times for $466,424 total and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most persistently troubled homes.

Concordia Manor runs 39 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits barely above the national average, about 1%, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. That margin disappears fast when turnover hits 73.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative weren't there a year ago. The inspection record is the real problem: 17 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, one $97,747 fine, and a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. That last designation isn't handed out lightly. The most recent inspection was May 2024, so the picture is current, not stale.
