Compare Providers

Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.

Care types

What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.

Assisted Living

Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.

Published rating

Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.

Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes published rating for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.

Kiva of Palatka

Not comparable

Florida publishes no quality rating for assisted living, so no community in this state carries one. CMS star ratings cover the providers Medicare certifies, which does not include assisted living.

Inspection citations

How many citations are on record, and how recent the newest one is.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no inspection citations for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Kiva of Palatka

Not established

No inspection records are in our data yet. That can mean a clean record, or that this provider's inspection history has not been ingested. Verify directly with the state licensing agency above before assuming either.

Fines and payment denials

Enforcement actions on record, with the total fine amount where the source publishes one.

Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes fines and payment denials for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.

Kiva of Palatka

Not comparable

Fines against an assisted living community are a state matter. CMS publishes civil money penalties for the nursing homes it certifies, and assisted living is not certified by CMS, so no community appears in that file. Florida publishes no assisted living penalty list we can read.

Nurse staffing hours

Payroll-based nurse hours per resident per day, against the median for the same state.

Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes nurse staffing hours for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.

Kiva of Palatka

Not comparable

Staffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from assisted living communities.

Ownership and chain

Who owns the provider, and who runs it when those are different companies.

Not a like-for-like comparison. Both providers have ownership and chain on record, but for at least one of them we cannot confirm we hold the complete file. Read the smaller number as "at least this many" rather than as a total, and the gap between the columns as unknown.

Typical local cost

The published monthly median for this care type in this provider's city. A market figure, never a price quoted by this provider.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no typical local cost for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Reading the blanks

A blank cell on this page is never just missing. It is one of three claims, and they mean very different things.

None on record.
We hold the whole published file for this measure and this provider is not in it. A real zero, and a finding in its own right.
Not comparable.
No agency publishes this measure for this kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one. Shown hatched, because it is not a score at all.
Not established.
We cannot yet say whether the silence means a clean record or a file we have not read. We would rather tell you that than guess.
