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.

All citations in the current public record (27)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

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)	4.03	4.03	3.95	top 35% in Florida; top 38% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.53	0.76	0.69	bottom 27% in Florida; bottom 42% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.69	3.68	3.50	top 37% in Florida; top 34% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.36	0.53	0.48	bottom 33% in Florida; bottom 44% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	57.3	41.4	45.8	bottom 13% in Florida; bottom 21% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	42.9	46.0	42.9	top 43% in Florida; bottom 49% 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 3.22, RN 0.42, weekend 2.95. 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: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
