What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · 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.
All citations in the current public record (7)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.
| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 3, 2024 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls. |
| Oct 3, 2024 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility's medication error rate was 5 percent or higher — meaning too many doses were given incorrectly, such as the wrong drug, dose, or time. |

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) | 3.52 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 17% in Florida; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.31 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 1% in Florida; bottom 10% 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) | 0.12 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 1% in Florida; bottom 3% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 32.7 | 41.4 | 45.8 | top 28% in Florida; top 19% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 46.0 | 42.9 | bottom 44% in Florida; bottom 39% 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 3.54, RN 0.31, weekend 3.24. 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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
