The Terrace Of Delray Beach Nursing And Rehabilita

The Terrace of Delray Beach Nursing and Rehabilitation holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average when all factors are weighed together. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the number and severity of citations found during state inspections lands right around average for Florida nursing homes. That is worth keeping an eye on, but it does not signal anything alarming. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, which is a good sign - it means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you would typically see at comparable facilities, and that kind of attention tends to make a real difference in day-to-day care quality.

Where The Terrace really stands out is in its quality measures rating, which earned a perfect 5 stars. This is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes tracked for residents, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, reduces falls, and maintains residents' mobility and overall health. A top score here suggests that whatever is happening inside those walls is actually working for residents in measurable ways. The slightly lower health inspection score pulls the overall rating down a bit from what it might otherwise be, but a 4-star composite backed by excellent clinical outcomes and solid staffing is genuinely reassuring for families considering this facility for a loved one.

Staffing at The Terrace of Delray Beach stands out in at least one important way when you compare it to other Florida nursing homes. Registered nurses here provide about 1.02 hours of care per resident each day, which is nearly double the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That matters because RNs handle more complex medical decisions, so having more of their time available on a given day can mean faster responses to health changes and better oversight of care plans. When you look at total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and LPNs as well, the facility comes in at 3.77 hours per resident per day, sitting just slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, residents here are getting more attention from highly trained nurses, even if the overall number of hands on deck across all staff levels is roughly in line with what you would find elsewhere in the state. For families who have a loved one with more involved medical needs, the stronger RN presence is worth factoring into your decision.

The Terrace of Delray Beach has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement compared to higher-rated homes in the area. That said, there are no government penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility, which is a positive sign. A penalty-free history means regulators have not found violations serious enough to warrant formal action, and that counts for something when you are weighing your options. Still, the 3-star inspection rating is worth exploring further - ask the facility directly about any past citations and what steps they have taken to address them.
