Finnish-American Village is a 120-bed nonprofit nursing home and assisted living community at 1800 South Drive in Lake Worth, Florida, operated by Finnish American Rest Home, Inc. under administrator Daniel Andrew Benson. The facility serves residents of all backgrounds while preserving Finnish cultural traditions. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, insurance/HMO, and private pay.
CMS rates Finnish-American Village above the Florida average across all four dimensions — overall, health inspection, staffing, and quality measures — with the overall score roughly 37% above the state mean. Staffing is a clear strength. Total nursing hours run 4 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day, ranked 31st among 252 Florida skilled nursing facilities and 11% above the state average of 4 hours and 25 minutes.
RN coverage is particularly robust at 1 hour and 13 minutes per day, 66% above the Florida norm. Weekend RN hours reach 1 hour and 2 minutes — 94% higher than the state average of 32 minutes, a meaningful indicator of consistent clinical oversight throughout the week.
State AHCA inspection data from April 2013 through January 2024 covers 24 inspections with 22 total deficiencies — 2.3 per year against a Florida average of 4.6, placing the facility 50% below the state rate. Most findings were isolated. The January 2014 routine inspection was the heaviest, citing six deficiencies across admissions assessments, staffing standards, DNRO training, documentation, resident records, and background screening.
Subsequent years were largely clean; the January 2022 and January 2024 routine inspections each resulted in no cited deficiencies. No legal actions or fines have been recorded in 13 years of data, compared to Florida’s average of three enforcement actions and $11,600 in penalties.
The facility has never received a critical or serious CMS health citation. With an occupancy rate of 94.4% — ranked 33rd among 255 Florida facilities and above the state average of 84.3% — Finnish-American Village is a consistently in-demand community.
Finnish-American Village is best suited for seniors who need skilled nursing or long-term care and looking for culturally distinctive care. Families seeking stable long-term placement near Lake Worth will find this community compliance-clean.
Finnish-American Village is legally operated by Finnish American Rest Home, Inc., and administrated by Daniel Andrew Benson.
