Willowbrooke Court At St Andrews Estates

Willowbrooke Court At St Andrews Estates holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and the standout here is staffing, which earned a perfect 5 stars. That means residents are getting significantly more nurse time per day than you'd find at a typical facility, which matters a lot when it comes to timely care, attentiveness, and just having enough hands on deck.

The other two pieces are solid but more middle-of-the-road. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, meaning the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections is about average for a Florida nursing home. It's not a red flag, but it does suggest there's some room for improvement on the compliance side. The quality measures rating is also 3 stars, reflecting average performance across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how well residents maintain their physical function. Together, the strong staffing score pulls the overall rating up to that 4-star mark, which is genuinely reassuring, though families may want to ask the facility directly about any recent inspection findings and how they're working to improve resident health outcomes.

Staffing levels at Willowbrooke Court At St Andrews Estates are notably higher than what you'll find at most Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 1.22 hours of registered nurse time per day, which is more than double the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a more experienced nurse is more likely to be present and available when a health concern comes up, rather than residents relying primarily on lower-level staff. Total nursing hours, which include CNAs and other care staff, come in at 4.22 hours per resident per day compared to the state average of 3.87 hours. While no number tells the whole story, higher staffing generally means more hands available for daily tasks like medication management, mobility assistance, and simply checking in on residents throughout the day. For families who want peace of mind knowing their loved one is less likely to wait long for help, these numbers are a meaningful positive.

Willowbrooke Court At St Andrews Estates holds a middling 3-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement compared to higher-rated peers in the area. That said, there are no government penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility, which is genuinely reassuring. A clean penalty history tells families that regulators have not found violations serious enough to warrant formal financial consequences, and that carries real weight when you are weighing options. The inspection rating alone is worth digging into further by reviewing the specific findings from past inspections, but the absence of penalties is a positive sign.
