Solaris Healthcare Coconut Creek

Solaris Healthcare Coconut Creek holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which puts it in the above-average range compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different, and in this case all three land in the same solid place. The health inspection rating of 4 stars reflects that state inspectors found relatively few problems during their visits, and any citations that did come up were not severe. The staffing rating of 4 stars tells you that nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd find at a typical facility, which generally means your loved one is less likely to wait long for help or attention. The quality measures rating, also 4 stars, is based on 15 clinical indicators like how often residents experience falls, pressure sores, or hospital readmissions, and scoring above average here suggests the care team is doing a good job managing residents' health over time.

When all three pieces come together into that 4-star overall rating, it paints a fairly consistent picture of a facility that is performing well across the board. There are no obvious weak spots dragging the score down, which is reassuring. Of course, star ratings are a useful starting point but not the whole story, so visiting in person and asking staff questions directly will always be worthwhile before making a final decision.

Staffing at Solaris Healthcare Coconut Creek is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here actually receive more one-on-one RN time than the state average, about 0.83 hours per resident per day versus Florida's average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a more experienced nurse is relatively more present for things like medication management, wound care, and catching early signs of health changes. However, when you look at total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and other nursing staff, the facility comes in at 3.47 hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That gap can show up in day-to-day moments like how quickly someone gets help getting out of bed, how often staff can sit and talk with a resident, or how fast call lights get answered. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it is worth asking the facility directly about how they schedule staff across different shifts, especially overnight and on weekends.

Solaris Healthcare Coconut Creek has a relatively clean regulatory record. The facility holds a 4-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is above average and suggests inspectors have found it to be a well-run operation. There are zero penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility, which is genuinely good news for families doing their research. No penalty history does not mean a facility is perfect, but it does mean regulators have not found problems serious enough to warrant formal action, and that is worth noting when you are comparing your options. You can compare this facility's record against others in Coconut Creek on the Coconut Creek nursing homes and assisted living page.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep turnover low?
3. If my loved one has a fall or a medical concern overnight, who responds, how quickly, and how do you notify the family?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who doesn't have many visitors or scheduled therapies?
5. In the past year, have you had any state inspection citations, and if so, what specifically did you change to fix the problem?
6. If my loved one's condition changes and they need a higher level of care or a different room, how does that process work and who makes that decision?
