Boulevard Rehabilitation Center

Boulevard Rehabilitation Center 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 built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning it falls around average when it comes to the number and severity of citations found during state inspections - not a red flag, but worth asking the facility about any recent findings. Staffing earns 4 stars, which is a good sign. It means nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd typically find, and more hands on deck generally translates to more attentive, responsive care day to day. The standout here is the 5-star quality measures rating, the highest possible score, reflecting strong real-world health outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks like wound care, fall rates, and medication management.

When you put those three pieces together, the picture is largely positive. The quality measures and staffing scores carry a lot of weight for families, since they speak directly to how residents are actually doing and how well they're being looked after. The average health inspection score pulls the overall rating down slightly from a potential 5, so it would be reasonable to ask staff what those past inspections flagged and how they've responded. Overall though, a 4-star composite backed by top marks in outcomes is a meaningful signal that this facility is performing well.

Boulevard Rehabilitation Center provides about 0.68 registered nurse hours per resident each day, which is actually higher than the Florida nursing homes average of 0.52 hours. That means residents here get a bit more time with the most highly trained nursing staff compared to many other facilities in the state. However, when you look at total nurse hours across all staff, the picture shifts a little. The facility averages 3.52 total nurse hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87. In practical terms, that gap means that on a typical day, residents may have slightly less hands-on time overall with nursing staff combined, whether that's help with meals, mobility, medication, or just checking in. Neither number is alarming, but it is worth asking the facility how they schedule their team and how they handle busier times like evenings and weekends, when staffing at most facilities tends to thin out.

Boulevard Rehabilitation Center holds a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5 stars for health inspections, which means inspectors have found some areas that needed attention, though nothing that has crossed the line into formal government action. Importantly, the facility has no penalties on record and has never been fined, which is a genuinely positive sign. It tells you that while the facility may not be perfect, regulators have not found violations serious enough to warrant punishment. For families, this is a reasonably reassuring picture, but the 3-star inspection rating is worth asking about when you tour. Request specifics on what past inspections flagged and what steps the facility took to address those findings.
