What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5
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 · Dec 10, 2024 · F-0623 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not give residents (and their representatives and the ombudsman, a state advocate for residents) proper advance notice before a transfer or discharge, including information about their right to appeal.
Why it matters: Without notice and appeal rights, a resident can be moved out with no warning and no chance to object.
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: Jan 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Dec 10, 2024 · F-0626 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not let a resident return after a hospital stay or approved leave that lasted longer than the facility's bed-hold policy allowed. Residents generally have the right to come back to the next available bed.
Why it matters: Being refused readmission can leave a hospitalized resident with nowhere to go and separate them from the place they call home.
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: Jan 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

| Dec 10, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide food that accounts for each resident's allergies, intolerances, and personal preferences, or did not offer appealing alternatives. |
| Dec 10, 2024 | ▲ G · Actual harm, one-off | The facility did not give residents (and their representatives and the ombudsman, a state advocate for residents) proper advance notice before a transfer or discharge, including information about their right to appeal. · from a complaint |

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) | 3.50 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 16% in Florida; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.40 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 9% in Florida; bottom 23% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.18 | 3.68 | 3.50 | bottom 12% in Florida; bottom 41% in the U.S. |

| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 45.5 | 41.4 | 45.8 | bottom 40% in Florida; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 45.5 | 46.0 | 42.9 | top 49% in Florida; bottom 43% 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 3.75, RN 0.43, weekend 3.40. 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.
