Key Review Excerpts

The physical therapy on a 1-10 scale I would give them a 12. Rylee is so cool and makes this place wonderful I can’t say enough about rylee.

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

A special thank-you to David, the social worker, who went above and beyond by meeting with me after hours to explain care options, costs, and next steps, including aftercare and caregiver planning.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

Every little request, medication, or concern was addressed promptly within 15 minutes. They also called to update me on my mom with any changes that occurred. She arrived using a walker and left on her own 2 feet.

29deficiencies
Well above state avg (15.4)
24 complaint-triggered

Citrus Post-Acute has a concerning pattern of 108 deficiencies across 14 surveys, with families filing complaints that triggered 25 violations. Recurring problems span medication management, nutrition and dietary services, and infection control, with these same issues appearing repeatedly across multiple years. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistent recurrence of medication errors, care planning failures, and dietary problems suggests systemic quality challenges that warrant careful consideration before placement.
