What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
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 · Apr 16, 2026 · F-0627 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not make sure a transfer or discharge met the resident's needs and preferences, or did not properly prepare the resident to leave safely.
Why it matters: A rushed or poorly planned move can leave a resident somewhere that can't meet their needs.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: May 18, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 3.58 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 22% in Florida; bottom 40% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.43 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 12% in Florida; bottom 27% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.28 | 3.68 | 3.50 | bottom 19% in Florida; bottom 46% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.33 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 26% in Florida; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 62.9 | 41.4 | 45.8 | bottom 6% in Florida; bottom 12% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 38.5 | 46.0 | 42.9 | top 35% in Florida; top 44% 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 3.50, RN 0.42, weekend 3.22. Staffing rating: 2/5.
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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 3/5
