These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 50% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 7 findings, above the IA average of 6.2. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Accura Healthcare of Lake City receives praise for its compassionate, attentive nursing staff and consistently clean facility environment. Residents and family members highlight the facility's active social calendar and the gracious, respectful treatment provided by the care team.
