Kindred Hospital South Florida Hollywood

Kindred Hospital South Florida Hollywood holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to other facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents. The staffing rating is the clear standout here, earning a perfect 5 stars. That means nurses are spending significantly more time with patients relative to the number of residents than you'd see at a typical facility, which is a meaningful indicator of whether your loved one will get timely, attentive care on a daily basis. The quality measures rating comes in at 4 stars, reflecting above-average performance across 15 clinical benchmarks tracking things like how residents' physical health holds up over time. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average in terms of the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections. That's not a red flag on its own, but it's worth asking the facility directly about any recent findings.

When you put it all together, the 4-star overall rating suggests this is a solid choice that outperforms most facilities in the areas that tend to matter most to families, particularly staffing levels and health outcomes. The average health inspection score keeps it from reaching the top tier, but the strong staffing numbers are encouraging since having enough nurses on hand is one of the factors families most often say they wish they had paid more attention to upfront.

Kindred Hospital South Florida Hollywood stands out when it comes to staffing, and for families, that difference is worth understanding in real terms. Registered nurses here provide about 2.81 hours of care per resident each day, compared to just 0.52 hours at most Florida senior care facilities. Total nursing hours, which include CNAs and other nursing staff, come in at 6.09 hours per resident per day versus the state average of 3.87. In practical terms, this means residents at Kindred are likely to have a nurse more readily available when they need help, whether that is managing pain, responding to a change in condition, or simply answering a call. Higher RN hours in particular tend to matter most for medically complex patients who need skilled assessments and quick decisions, not just routine assistance. These numbers suggest a notably higher level of attention than what families would typically find elsewhere in the state, which can be reassuring if your loved one has serious medical needs.

Kindred Hospital South Florida Hollywood holds a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5 stars for health inspections, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement compared to higher-rated options in the area. On the positive side, there are no government penalties on record and no fines have been issued, meaning regulators have not found violations serious enough to warrant formal financial consequences. That combination is worth noting: the inspection rating signals some concerns worth asking the facility about directly, but the clean penalty record does suggest the facility has avoided the more serious compliance failures that can be red flags for families. As always, inspection ratings are one piece of the picture, and a personal visit and conversation with staff can tell you a lot that numbers cannot.
