Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5 · how star ratings work →
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
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 quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
Showing the latest 3 of 8 inspection findings. Open the full record below to read every finding.
The facility did not have enough support staff to safely and effectively run its food and nutrition service. F-0802
The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards. F-0812
The facility did not serve food and drinks that were appetizing, attractive, and at a safe and pleasant temperature. F-0804
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed — that window is CMS's, not ours. Within it, every citation CMS publishes for this facility is listed here: none excluded.

| Measure | This facility | Florida avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 4.46 | 4.03 | 3.95 | top 17% in Florida; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.84 | 0.76 | 0.69 | top 31% in Florida; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.05 | 3.68 | 3.50 | top 16% in Florida; top 21% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.60 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 30% in Florida; top 23% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 23.0 | 41.4 | 45.8 | top 9% in Florida; top 5% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 17.2 | 46.0 | 42.9 | top 7% in Florida; top 11% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — 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 4.25, RN 0.80, weekend 3.86.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.25 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 5/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
Price evidence · separate from quality
No verified facility-specific private-pay price is available in our data for Okeechobee Health Care Facility. CMS inspection and staffing records do not tell us what this home will charge you.
Use a written private-pay quote. This worksheet adds only the amounts you enter; it does not calculate Medicare, Medicaid or insurance benefits.
Formula: (room rate + daily extras) × days + one-time charges. A 30-day scenario is not a calendar-month quote. Refundable deposits, rate changes and charges you omit are not automatically included. Entries are not saved or sent to our server.
