How to read AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS's star rating

The CMS overall star rating for AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 3-star overall rating means AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS performs around the national middle. Average overall scores usually come from uneven domain results rather than uniform middling performance, so the domain detail matters more than the headline number.

For AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS, CMS currently publishes 2 out of 5 for health inspections, 2 out of 5 for staffing, 5 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Florida providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.

In local context: 14 rated facilities in Pensacola average 4 out of 5, and the Florida average is 3.2. AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS rates 3 out of 5, below that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.

What AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS's inspection record shows

Surveyors recorded 1 deficiency for AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS at the inspection logged in January 2026. A deficiency is a specific finding that the facility fell short of a federal requirement; each one carries a scope-and-severity grade from an isolated, no-harm issue up to immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.

Counts alone can mislead. A small number of low-severity, quickly corrected citations is common across the industry and is far less concerning than a single high-severity finding. Ask AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS directly for its most recent CMS Form 2567 statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that accompanied it — providers are required to make both available to the public on request.

What nursing home costs near Pensacola, Florida

Florida nursing home typically runs $3,800 to $6,200 per month, a midpoint of roughly $5,000 — about $60,000 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.

Actual pricing at AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. For skilled nursing, Medicare may cover a limited post-hospital stay in full for the first 20 days and partially through day 100 when the stay qualifies; long-term custodial care is generally paid privately or through Medicaid once assets are spent down.

When you call AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
