About Avante at Inverness

Avante at Inverness is a skilled nursing facility in Inverness, Florida, with 104 certified beds. It provides care around the clock for people who need short-term rehabilitation or long-term care. Government-data records identify the facility as a for-profit corporation affiliated with Avante Centers. It is in Citrus County, where 36.4% of residents are age 65 or older and the median age is 56.7 years; these are countywide figures, not a profile of the facility’s residents.

People receiving services may arrive from home or from nearby Citrus Memorial Hospital. The listed short-term rehabilitation services include physical, occupational and speech therapy, while long-term care is also available. The information identifies these care categories and therapy disciplines, but does not describe therapy schedules, typical stays or specific diagnoses.

Other listed care includes a wound-care program and staff assistance with activities of daily living for residents who need help. A facility profile records an active resident council, though it does not describe the council’s schedule or activities. The available material does not detail room layouts, dining, amenities or a daily activity program, so those aspects of life at the facility cannot be characterized here.

An inspection report dated July 2025 recorded seven deficiencies. The cited subjects included monthly pharmacist review of medication regimens; accurate resident assessments; timely initial and complete care plans; care consistent with orders, preferences and goals; appropriate respiratory care; and safeguards for resident-identifiable information and medical records. The medication-review citation specified a monthly review by a licensed pharmacist that included the medical chart and followed procedures for reporting irregularities. For admissions, citations addressed a plan for immediate needs within 48 hours and a complete plan with measurable actions and timelines. These are findings from that report, not a summary of every resident’s experience or a statement of current conditions.

A March 2024 standard inspection recorded eight deficiencies, including one related to infection prevention. The report covered medication labeling and locked storage, resident assessments and care planning, treatment, accident hazards and supervision, respiratory care, food sourcing and handling, and infection-control procedures. The medication citation also specified proper labeling and locked storage, with controlled drugs kept in separately locked compartments. Food findings covered approved sources and appropriate storage, preparation, distribution and service.

A November 2022 inspection recorded three deficiencies. They concerned informing residents or representatives of the right to refuse arbitration, posting daily nursing-staffing information, and electronically submitting complete and accurate direct-care staffing information based on payroll and other verifiable records. These dated reports provide regulatory context alongside the listed care services; the supplied information does not establish the later correction status of the cited deficiencies.
