Westminster Winter Park operates 73 licensed nursing beds at 1111 South Lakemont Avenue in Winter Park, Orange County, Florida. The community functions as part of Presbyterian Retirement Communities, Inc., a nonprofit, church-operated continuing care retirement community administered by Dayana Medjine Desir. Of its current 72 residents, 29% hold Medicare coverage (typically short-stay rehabilitation), 47% receive Medicaid funding, and 24% pay privately. Occupancy remains robust at 96%, substantially exceeding Florida’s 84.3% average and reflecting strong local demand.
The facility earned an F inspection score of 59 out of 100; 29 points below Florida’s C+ state median of 77. It also ranked in the worst performing tier for citation history. Over thirteen years, Westminster accumulated 75 citations, running 127% above Florida’s typical facility average.
The most recent January 2025 inspection documented seven deficiencies involving licensure, resident supervision, medication handling, staffing compliance, and records management. Earlier cycles spanning 2013 through 2024 repeatedly flagged training documentation failures, particularly in staff in-service, medication assistance, CPR, and advanced dementia care. Residential supervision and elopement prevention violations appeared across at least five separate inspections. Two critical and two serious citations emerged in that five-year window, representing significant patient safety concerns.
The facility incurred four fines within three years, culminating in a $66,000 federal penalty in June 2024. No Medicare payment denials occurred, limiting the most severe enforcement action.
Registered nurses deliver 1 hour 3 minutes daily per resident; 43% above Florida’s state standard. Weekend RN presence is 66% above average. Total daily nursing care reaches 4 hours 11 minutes per resident. Yet persistent inspection findings of inadequate training, supervision failures, and documentation gaps across multiple years suggest staffing quantity has not translated to consistent quality or compliance oversight.
Residents demonstrate exceptional falls prevention (1.4%, substantially better than state average) and low antipsychotic use (3.6%, 55% better than state norm). Short-stay residents achieve 68% functional independence at discharge, 27% above state expectations. However, 32.3% of short-stay discharges result in hospital readmission; that’s 23% worse than Florida’s baseline.
Westminster Winter Park is a community serving primarily short-term rehabilitation residents within a high-occupancy model, though it’s one with a pattern of documented deficiencies across staffing, supervision, and training domains.
