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 61% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Aviata at Colonial Lakes (formerly Colonial Lakes Health Care) has undergone significant leadership and management changes, which recent reviews suggest have led to improvements in cleanliness, staff morale, and facility atmosphere. However, the facility has a long history of severe complaints regarding neglect, poor hygiene, slow response times to call lights, and communication failures, with some families still reporting critical issues in recent months.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is outstanding. Very compassionate and helpful.”
“The place feels completely transformed — it’s clean, it smells fresh, and there’s a warmth in the atmosphere that wasn’t there before.”
“In cases of emergency, it has been observed that it takes 25 minutes to respond to call notifications by patients. Patients/residents have been observed calling for help 3 hours straight not being attended to.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
