Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5 · how star ratings work →
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Aug 29, 2025 · F-0807
The facility did not provide residents with enough to drink, or with drinks matching their needs and preferences, to keep them properly hydrated.
Why it matters: Dehydration develops quickly in older adults and can cause confusion, urinary infections, and hospitalization.
Severity (J): Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety was cited. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.
Corrected: Oct 3, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Aug 29, 2025 · F-0835
The facility was not managed in a way that uses its money, staff, and resources effectively and efficiently to care for residents.
Why it matters: Poor administration often shows up as understaffing, supply shortages, and care problems across the whole facility.
Severity (J): Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety was cited. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.

| Measure | This facility | Florida avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.40 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 8% in Florida; bottom 31% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.38 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 5% in Florida; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.45 | 3.68 | 3.50 | bottom 41% in Florida; top 44% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.34 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 28% in Florida; bottom 40% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 46.0 | 41.4 | 45.8 | bottom 39% in Florida; bottom 47% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 71.4 | 46.0 | 42.9 | bottom 11% in Florida; bottom 11% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.23, RN 0.36, weekend 3.28.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.23 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
Price evidence · separate from quality
No verified facility-specific private-pay price is available in our data for Lake Eustis Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. CMS inspection and staffing records do not tell us what this home will charge you.
Use a written private-pay quote. This worksheet adds only the amounts you enter; it does not calculate Medicare, Medicaid or insurance benefits.
Formula: (room rate + daily extras) × days + one-time charges. A 30-day scenario is not a calendar-month quote. Refundable deposits, rate changes and charges you omit are not automatically included. Entries are not saved or sent to our server.
