Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (52% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 26 days.
Blue Palms Senior Living of DeLand is a 90-bed nursing home operated by DeLand FL Holdco, LLC. The community accommodates a range of needs, providing independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation. On-site features include private rooms, a wellness center, and a daily activities calendar featuring crafts, cooking classes, group fitness, and social outings. Staff members support communication in English, Spanish, and German. Situated in a walkable downtown area with a Walk Score of 87, the property records an average resident stay of 110 days and accepts private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Government tracking data across 22 separate inspections from July 2012 through August 2025 records a total of 29 line-item infractions over the property’s history, running about 9% below the standard Florida average. Because 10 of those 22 state visits turned up at least one initial required correction on paperwork, the home carries a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for unblemished reviews. Historical archives show past scattered marks regarding staffing files, employee training logs, and food service, which management systematically addressed.
The modern record highlights notable administrative stability, featuring back-to-back flawless state inspections on December 4, 2024, and August 7, 2025, alongside zero historical fines. Furthermore, federal files from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) award the facility a top five-star overall rating, backed by a daily staff-to-resident ratio that tracks 74% higher than the state baseline.
Prospective residents checking into regional skilled nursing options can use these multi-year public health summaries to evaluate the provider’s operational performance. Since the official tracking database verifies top-tier federal quality scores, a high daily staffing ratio, and zero fines alongside a recent run of flawless state reviews, the documentation reflects a highly reliable management framework. Arranging an in-person tour is an effective next step to examine the therapy and rehabilitation spaces, view the room layouts, and discuss care tiers directly with the administrative team.
Blue Palms Senior Living of Deland is legally operated by Deland Fl Alf Opco, Llc, and administrated by Jeffrey Ryan Thomas.
