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 (4)
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 27, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not honor residents' right to form and take part in resident or family groups, such as a resident council. |
| Mar 27, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs. |
| Mar 27, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide the help residents need with basic daily activities — like bathing, dressing, eating, and using the bathroom — for residents who cannot do these things on their own. |
| Mar 27, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not post its nurse staffing information every day. Nursing homes must publicly display how many nurses and aides are on duty each day. |

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) | 4.52 | 4.03 | 3.95 | top 15% in Florida; top 22% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.52 | 0.76 | 0.69 | bottom 25% in Florida; bottom 41% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.07 | 3.68 | 3.50 | top 16% in Florida; top 21% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.24 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 9% in Florida; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 33.6 | 41.4 | 45.8 | top 30% in Florida; top 21% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 40.0 | 46.0 | 42.9 | top 38% in Florida; top 46% 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 3.60, RN 0.41, weekend 3.24. 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.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
