Our read on Blue Lake Post Acute
Blue Lake Post Acute in Deland runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers split hard in two directions. The quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5, which suggests some clinical targets are being met, but staffing comes in at 1 out of 5, a real problem when direct care hours are what families actually feel day to day. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 28 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and 18 fines totaling $152,994. The most recent inspection was in April 2026. When quality metrics look decent but staffing and inspections don't, it usually means the care process is strained by too few hands.
