Hawthorne Center For Rehabilitation And Healing Of

Hawthorne Center For Rehabilitation And Healing earns 4 out of 5 stars overall, which puts it above average compared to other nursing facilities across the country. That overall rating is built from three separate scores that each measure something different, and the combination of those pieces is what drives the final number. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility falls in the average range when it comes to citations from state inspectors - think of this as a record of how often surveyors found problems during their visits and how serious those problems were. The staffing rating is also 3 stars, which means the nurses and aides are providing a fairly typical number of care hours per resident each day, not a standout amount but not a concern either. Where Hawthorne Center really shines is in its quality measures rating, a perfect 5 stars. This score looks at 15 real clinical outcomes for residents - things like whether people are developing pressure sores, experiencing falls, losing too much weight, or getting infections - and a 5 here means the facility is performing much better than average on those health outcomes.

For families, that quality measures score is often the most meaningful of the three, because it reflects what is actually happening to residents day to day in terms of their physical health and wellbeing. The average scores in inspections and staffing are worth keeping an eye on, but they don't cancel out the strong outcomes data. Taken together, the 4-star overall rating suggests this is a solid, above-average choice worth a closer look.

Staffing at Hawthorne Center For Rehabilitation And Healing stands out in one important way: residents here get noticeably more registered nurse time than the state norm. At 0.96 RN hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 0.52, that difference adds up to real benefits in your loved one's day, since RNs handle complex medical decisions, medication oversight, and recognizing when something is wrong before it becomes serious. When you look at total nurse hours, though, the picture shifts slightly. The facility comes in at 3.69 total nursing hours per resident per day, which is a bit below the Florida average of 3.87 across Florida nursing homes. That gap reflects the hours put in by CNAs and LPNs who handle much of the hands-on daily care like bathing, meals, and mobility help. So while your family member would likely benefit from stronger RN attention and clinical oversight here, the day-to-day caregiving support is modestly below what you might find at comparable facilities elsewhere in the state. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, but together they give you a clearer picture of what to ask about during a tour.

Hawthorne Center For Rehabilitation And Healing has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which means it meets basic standards but has some room for improvement compared to higher-rated facilities in the area. The good news for families is that this facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, which tells you that while inspectors may have flagged some concerns over the years, nothing rose to the level of a formal enforcement action.
