Our read on Aviata At Fletcher

Aviata At Fletcher runs 120 beds in Tampa under individual for-profit ownership, and its last full health inspection in July 2024 left a heavy record: 34 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Fines total $57,962 across two penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends about 7 percent thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 52.6 percent runs above the 45.8 percent national figure. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 is the bright spot, but it's built on charted clinical data, not on the hands available or the inspection findings, and those are what families actually live with day to day.
