Terrace Of Hialeah, The

Terrace of Hialeah earns an overall 4-star rating, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and the standout here is Quality Measures, which comes in at a perfect 5 stars. This rating looks at 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure sores, or maintains residents' mobility. A top score there is a strong signal that residents are actually receiving good day-to-day care where it counts most. The Health Inspection rating lands at 3 stars, meaning the facility falls around average when it comes to citations from state inspectors, so there have been some findings but nothing that sets off major red flags. Staffing also sits at 3 stars, which means the number of nursing hours per resident is about average for the industry.

Practically speaking, a family considering Terrace of Hialeah can take some real comfort in that 5-star Quality Measures score, since it reflects what life and health outcomes actually look like for the people living there. The average marks in inspections and staffing are worth a conversation with the facility, particularly around how they schedule nurses and what any inspection findings involved, but they don't overshadow the strong clinical performance. Taken together, the 4-star overall rating suggests this is a solid choice that performs meaningfully better than many facilities in its area.

Staffing at Terrace of Hialeah stands out in one notable way: residents here receive about 1.23 hours of registered nurse time per day, which is significantly higher than the Florida average of just 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a more experienced, higher-credentialed nurse is more likely to be present and involved in your loved one's care on any given day. However, when you look at total nursing hours, which includes CNAs and other care staff, the picture shifts a bit. The facility averages 3.36 total nurse hours per resident per day, which falls slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. So while the quality of oversight from registered nurses appears strong, the overall hands-on care time from the broader nursing team is somewhat lower than what you'd find at many other Florida nursing homes. For families, this is worth thinking through based on your loved one's specific needs. Someone who requires closer medical monitoring might benefit from the stronger RN presence, while someone needing more help with daily physical care might notice the difference in total staffing hours.

Terrace of Hialeah has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has some room for improvement. That said, the facility has a clean slate when it comes to government penalties, with zero fines or enforcement actions on record. No penalties does not mean a perfect facility, but it does mean regulators have not found issues serious enough to result in formal consequences. Families should still review the specific details behind the inspection rating and ask the facility directly about any areas of concern.
