THE PALMS AT SEBRING ASSISTED LIVING — Assisted Living in Sebring, Florida
The Palms at Sebring Assisted Living is a 141-bed assisted living facility in Sebring, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 30 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 4 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include 24-hour on-site nursing, limited nursing services (LNS). It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver. It has operated under Pine Street Alf Operations LLC for about 2 years.
Serious findings are present and weigh heavily in the score, with a history that includes state enforcement actions and substantiated complaints contributing to the facility's lower rating. Problems have repeatedly centered on records, medication handling, staffing standards, staff training, and background screening; while past cited deficiencies have been corrected, the record shows those same care areas recurring and the most recent inspections suggest an improving trend rather than a steady clean record.
