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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · May 24, 2025 · F-0584 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs.
Why it matters: An unsafe or unclean environment affects residents' health, comfort, and dignity every single day.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Jun 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · May 24, 2025 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Jun 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · May 24, 2025 · F-0835 · triggered by a complaint

Why it matters: Poor administration often shows up as understaffing, supply shortages, and care problems across the whole facility.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Jun 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, facility-wide · Dec 17, 2025 · F-0602 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from misuse of their belongings or money — this is called misappropriation, and it includes theft or improper use of a resident's property or funds.
Why it matters: Residents can lose money, jewelry, or cherished possessions to theft or misuse.
Severity (I): Residents were actually harmed and the failure existed throughout the facility. Rare and serious.

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) | 4.42 | 4.03 | 3.95 | top 18% in Florida; top 25% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.40 | 0.76 | 0.69 | top 5% in Florida; top 6% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.33 | 3.68 | 3.50 | top 11% in Florida; top 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.82 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 14% in Florida; top 11% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 37.5 | 46.0 | 42.9 | top 33% in Florida; top 42% 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 3.27, RN 1.04, weekend 3.21. Staffing rating: 4/5.
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.
