What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · 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 · Aug 13, 2025 · F-0678 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide basic life support, such as CPR, before emergency medical help arrived — care that's required when it matches the doctor's orders and the resident's own written wishes.
Why it matters: In a cardiac or breathing emergency, failure to start CPR promptly can be the difference between life and death.
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) | 3.79 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 42% in Florida; top 49% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.39 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 7% in Florida; bottom 21% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.57 | 3.68 | 3.50 | top 47% in Florida; top 39% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.22 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 7% in Florida; bottom 16% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 64.0 | 41.4 | 45.8 | bottom 5% in Florida; bottom 11% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 46.7 | 46.0 | 42.9 | bottom 49% in Florida; bottom 41% 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 3.33, RN 0.35, weekend 3.13. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
