Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above most facilities nationwide. That top-line number is a composite that weighs three separate ratings together, so it's worth knowing what's driving it. The staffing rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending significantly more time with residents than you'd typically see elsewhere - that's a real, day-to-day difference families notice in how attentive and responsive the care feels. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, which means state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems than average during their on-site visits - not a spotless record, but a genuinely strong one. The quality measures rating is 3 stars, landing right at average. This piece looks at 15 clinical outcomes - things like whether residents are developing pressure sores, losing too much weight, or having falls — and in those areas the facility is keeping pace with peers but not standing out.

The overall 5-star rating reflects how well those three pieces balance out, and here the exceptional staffing numbers carry significant weight. For families, the practical takeaway is that this facility is well-staffed and passes inspections with confidence, though you may want to ask the admissions team specifically about the clinical outcome measures that matter most for your loved one's condition. A 5-star overall is a very encouraging sign, and the staffing strength in particular suggests residents are unlikely to go long stretches without someone checking in on them.

Staffing levels at Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center come in above what you'd typically see across Florida nursing homes, which is worth noting when you're weighing your options. Residents here receive about 4.29 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 - that roughly half-hour difference might not sound like much on paper, but spread across a full day, it can mean more time for things like help getting dressed, responding to call lights faster, or just having someone available when a question comes up. The registered nurse numbers are even more notable: this facility logs 0.91 RN hours per resident daily, well above Florida's average of 0.52, meaning residents have more access to higher-level clinical oversight throughout the day. That said, staffing numbers alone don't tell the whole story — how those hours are distributed across shifts and how well the team communicates still matters enormously in day-to-day care.

Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record that should give families a reasonable level of confidence. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, and there are no government penalties or fines on record - none at all. That's genuinely good news, since penalties and fines can be a red flag worth digging into when comparing facilities. A clean penalty history doesn't mean a facility is perfect, but it does suggest regulators haven't found issues serious enough to result in formal enforcement action.
