CMS rates 31 of the 31 local nursing homes overall: 15 have five stars, 5 four, 7 three, 2 two and 2 one (Care Compare data as of October 1, 2026). Many five-star homes have only one or two staffing stars, so look at the component ratings and the staffing hours, not just the headline.
What do CMS's stars measure?
CMS Care Compare gives each Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home an overall rating from one to five stars, built from three components: health inspections (the results of state surveys done for CMS over recent years), staffing (nurse and aide hours per resident and turnover, from payroll data) and quality measures (outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and rehospitalizations). The overall rating starts from the inspection score and is adjusted up or down by the other two.
That design means a home can earn five stars overall with a weak staffing rating if its inspections and quality measures are strong. For families, the staffing component and the raw hours often matter as much as the headline.

What stands out?
Ratings here skew high: 20 of the 31 rated homes have four or five stars overall. Staffing is the weak spot. Several five-star homes carry one- or two-star staffing ratings, and the median total nurse staffing across local homes is 3.57 hours per resident per day, with a median nursing staff turnover of 48.2%.
At the other end, Aviata at Grand Oaks in Palm Coast (2 of 5), Aviata at South Daytona in South Daytona (2 of 5), Blue Lake Post Acute in DeLand (1 of 5), Indigo Manor in Daytona Beach (1 of 5) have one or two stars overall. A low rating is a reason to look closely at recent inspections and ask what has changed, not an automatic disqualification.
How should the stars be used after a hospital stay?
Discharge planners at Halifax Health and the AdventHealth hospitals often present a short list of homes with open beds. Check each one's short-stay quality rating for rehab outcomes, its staffing rating and hours, and the deficiency count at its latest inspection. A patient may choose any certified home that accepts the referral.
Each home has a page in our nursing home directory comparing its staffing hours and turnover with the two-county median and listing state sanctions from AHCA.
Frequently asked questions
Who gives nursing homes their stars?
CMS, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, based on state inspections, payroll staffing data and quality measures.
Are assisted living facilities rated the same way?
No. CMS rates only certified nursing homes, and Florida does not rate ALFs.
How often do ratings change?
CMS refreshes Care Compare data monthly, and ratings can change after a new inspection or staffing report.
Does a five-star home always have good staffing?
No. Check the staffing star and the hours per resident per day separately.
