The health inspection sub-rating stands 57.7 percent above state benchmark, the strongest single driver in the profile.

Over the inspection window, the facility averaged 2.2 deficiencies each year, 52 percent below Florida’s 4.6 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions.
