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, one-off · Dec 18, 2025 · F-0760
The facility did not keep residents free from significant medication errors — such as giving the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or missing a critical medication.
Why it matters: A serious medication error can cause real harm, hospitalization, or worse.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Feb 6, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 18, 2025 · F-0835
The facility was not managed in a way that uses its money, staff, and resources effectively and efficiently to care for residents.
Why it matters: Poor administration often shows up as understaffing, supply shortages, and care problems across the whole facility.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

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) | 3.46 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 13% in Florida; bottom 35% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.48 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 19% in Florida; bottom 34% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.22 | 3.68 | 3.50 | bottom 15% in Florida; bottom 43% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.50 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 43% in Florida; top 33% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 60.2 | 41.4 | 45.8 | bottom 9% in Florida; bottom 16% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 57.9 | 46.0 | 42.9 | bottom 28% in Florida; bottom 24% 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 3.52, RN 0.49, weekend 3.27. 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: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
