1 Executive Summary
Sample State acquisition landscape • 2025-Q3 data
61.1
Avg Acquisition Score
Sample State has 694 Medicare-certified nursing facilities with 84,457 beds.
375 facilities score 60+ on the SeniorIndex Acquisition Attractiveness Score, indicating strong acquisition potential.
39 facilities have compliance risk scores above 70, signaling operational distress.
Average turnaround potential across the state is 72.0 out of 100.
MARKET SIGNAL: MODERATE OPPORTUNITY
47.6%% of Sample State facilities have compliance gaps, roughly in line with the national average of 59.7%%.
2 Compliance Risk Landscape
Facility readiness against May 2026 federal staffing thresholds
121
Non-Compliant + Critical
Compliance Trend — FL vs National (11 Quarters)
Non-compliant facilities face regulatory pressure that accelerates ownership transitions. States with rising non-compliance
rates present expanding acquisition pipelines as operators seek exits before enforcement actions escalate.
3 Revenue Quality
Payer mix as a valuation signal • Higher private pay = stronger cash flow
16.7%%
Medicare (highest margin)
Private Pay % by County (Top 12 Markets)
Private pay concentration is the strongest public signal of a facility's cash flow health. Counties with high
private pay averages support premium valuations, while Medicaid-heavy markets may offer turnaround opportunities
where payer mix optimization can drive margin expansion post-acquisition.

Ownership Type Distribution
5 Penalty & Enforcement Exposure
Regulatory risk profile • Fines, denials, and enforcement trends
$21,456,464
Total Fines (3yr)
Facilities with significant penalty exposure often face capital constraints, making them more receptive to acquisition offers.
Rising penalty trends indicate tightening regulatory environments that accelerate market turnover.
6 Quality Benchmarks
Clinical outcomes • State vs national • Improvement upside
Long-Stay Quality Measures: State vs National Average
Quality measures where the state significantly underperforms national averages represent improvement upside post-acquisition.
Facilities with poor outcomes on falls, pressure ulcers, and antipsychotic use are common turnaround targets where
operational improvements can drive star rating gains within 12–18 months.

10 Methodology & Data Sources
Report ID: SAIR-FL-202604 • Generated April 06, 2026
This report is generated from the SeniorIndex.ai database, which aggregates multiple federal and state
data sources into a unified intelligence platform. Primary data sources include federal provider data
(facility profiles, star ratings, quality measures), mandatory payroll-based daily nurse staffing records
(14.5 million records across 11 quarters), facility financial filings (payer mix), federal health inspection
and enforcement records (419,452 deficiencies), and ownership/chain affiliation data (160,373 records).
Acquisition Attractiveness Score (0–100): Combines compliance risk trajectory, payer mix quality,
star ratings, facility size, occupancy, demographic demand, and ownership stability. Higher scores indicate
facilities more likely to be available and economically attractive for acquisition.
Turnaround Potential (0–100): Measures the gap between current performance and market opportunity.
Facilities with low ratings but strong demographics and revenue quality score highest.
Compliance Risk (0–100): Algorithmic risk scoring combining deficiency severity, penalty history,
staffing volatility, inspection patterns, and SFF status. Higher = riskier.
Limitations: PBJ data reflects paid hours only. Payer mix is based on most recent cost report filing.
