Special Focus Facility

Aviata At Beneva runs about 3.6 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend staffing matters because the home carries 30 deficiencies on its current record, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $110,129 in fines across two events. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 despite a 4 out of 5 on quality measures. Staff turnover runs near 50%, above the national figure, so the people at the bedside keep changing even as the paperwork looks better than the building does.
