Aviata At Big Bend is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Perry, Florida, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 105631. 120-bed facility. For Profit - Limited Liability Company. Part of the Aviata Health Group chain. The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.
Aviata At Big Bend has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 37 years (certification date on file: 1988-12-21). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.
CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.
Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.
Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★☆☆ (3 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.
Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.
Special Focus Facility status: Aviata At Big Bend appears on the CMS Special Focus Facility list (status: SFF Candidate). SFF designation is reserved for facilities with a persistent pattern of substandard quality of care — typically high deficiency counts across consecutive surveys. CMS conducts a standard survey approximately every six months on SFF facilities (vs. up to fifteen months for non-SFF) and tracks two consecutive improved surveys as the exit criterion. Facilities that fail to improve over 18-24 months on the SFF list face termination of their Medicare provider agreement under 42 CFR 488.456.
Abuse Icon present: CMS has applied the Abuse Icon to Aviata At Big Bend's Care Compare listing. The icon flags facilities cited for substantiated abuse, neglect, exploitation, or misappropriation findings under the F600-series Long-Term Care Resident Rights and Abuse / Neglect F-tags within the most recent two survey cycles, where citations met the scope-and-severity threshold defined in CMS Care Compare's Five-Star Quality Rating Methodology. The icon stays in place until the facility completes a full survey cycle with no further qualifying citations.
Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 12. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. In its most recent reporting cycle, Aviata At Big Bend received 2 CMS fines totaling $150,655. Last documented standard health survey: 2024-12-18. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.
CMS health survey weighted score: 392.75. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.
Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $2. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.
At today's staffing levels, Aviata At Big Bend would not meet the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2029 timeline under 89 FR 40876: nurse-aide HPRD is 2.052 vs the 2.45 floor, a 0.40-hour gap. Closing this gap typically requires either net new hires at the specific cadre, shifted scheduling that reallocates existing FTEs to direct-care hours, or a hardship exemption application under 42 CFR 483.35.
Total nurse staffing: 3.427 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 0.05 hours below the 3.48 total HPRD floor scheduled to take effect for rural-facility facilities by May 2029 (89 FR 40876, May 2024); facilities projected to remain below the floor at the effective date must either close the gap, qualify for a hardship exemption, or face citation under 42 CFR 483.35.
Staffing mix: RN 0.763 HPRD, LPN 0.612 HPRD, CNA 2.052 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2029 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.
Weekend RN staffing: 0.549 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.
Total nurse staff turnover: 50.5% annualized — high (typical of facilities with chronic staffing pressure).
RN-specific turnover: 40% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.
Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 4. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.
Aviata At Big Bend is operated as part of Aviata Health Group, a chain operating 51 Medicare-certified facilities (CMS chain identifier 745). Chain-operated facilities tend to share corporate compliance staff, standard operating procedures, and survey-prep resources — but also share enforcement exposure when CMS designates a chain-wide issue under the system-wide quality assurance framework.
Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.
The facility is classified by CMS as rural (outside metropolitan statistical areas). Rural SNFs face different challenges — referral pipeline depth, RN availability, ambulance distance for transfers — and CMS applies certain modifiers to the staffing minimums under hardship exemption pathways for rural facilities.
Peer comparisons use a same-state cohort of 200 Medicare-certified SNFs, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications.
