What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · May 11, 2026 · F-0686 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving.
Why it matters: Bedsores are painful, can become deeply infected, and in serious cases can be life-threatening.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Florida avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.93 | 4.03 | 3.95 | top 45% in Florida; top 42% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.64 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 46% in Florida; top 43% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.75 | 3.68 | 3.50 | top 31% in Florida; top 31% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.43 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 48% in Florida; top 43% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 52.9 | 41.4 | 45.8 | bottom 21% in Florida; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 62.5 | 46.0 | 42.9 | bottom 21% in Florida; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.24, RN 0.53, weekend 3.09. Staffing rating: 3/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 3/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
