Seaside Health And Rehabilitation Center

Seaside Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and understanding each one helps you get a clearer picture of what life might actually look like there for your loved one. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities when they walked through the door. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, which reflects above-average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like how often residents experience falls, pressure sores, or declines in everyday functioning. That's a meaningful sign that residents are generally receiving care that keeps them healthier day to day.

The one area worth a closer look is staffing, which sits at 2 stars, or below average. This rating is based on how many hours of nursing care each resident receives, and a lower score here means residents may have less one-on-one time with nurses and aides than at comparable facilities. That doesn't automatically mean care is poor, especially given the strong inspection and quality scores, but it's something worth asking the facility about directly. When you visit, it's worth noticing whether staff seem rushed, how quickly call lights get answered, and how well the team knows individual residents. The overall 4-star rating is genuinely encouraging, but that staffing number is a conversation starter, not something to brush past.

Staffing levels at Seaside Health And Rehabilitation Center run below what you'll typically find at other Florida nursing homes, and that's worth understanding in practical terms. Residents here receive about 3.15 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours, which means roughly 45 minutes less hands-on nursing care each day per person. The registered nurse gap is also notable, with this facility averaging just 0.34 RN hours per resident daily versus the state average of 0.52 hours. In real life, that difference can show up in how quickly a call light gets answered, how closely a nurse monitors a change in condition, or how much time staff have to assist with meals and mobility. None of this means care is poor, but families should go in with clear eyes and ask the facility directly how they manage staffing on nights and weekends, when numbers at most facilities tend to dip further.

Seaside Health And Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record that families can feel reasonably confident about. The facility holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, and there are no government penalties or fines on record at all. That means regulators have not found issues serious enough to result in formal financial penalties, which is a good sign when you are trying to narrow down your options. No record is not the same as a perfect record, and routine inspections can still turn up smaller findings, but the absence of penalties does put this facility in a better position than many others. You can compare this facility's record against others in Daytona Beach on the Daytona Beach nursing homes and assisted living page.
