Diamond Ridge Health And Rehabilitation Center

Diamond Ridge Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems there than at most facilities. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, which reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 health outcome indicators, things like whether residents are maintaining mobility, avoiding infections, or managing pain. That's a strong sign that the care being delivered is producing real, positive results for the people living there. The one area worth noting is the staffing rating, which sits at 2 stars, indicating that the number of nursing hours per resident falls below average. That doesn't necessarily mean care is poor, and the quality measures score suggests residents are doing well overall, but it's a reasonable question to raise with the facility directly.

Taken together, the picture at Diamond Ridge is largely encouraging. The top-line 5-star overall rating reflects that the facility's strengths, particularly its clinical outcomes and inspection history, outweigh the staffing concern in CMS's composite calculation. For your family, the quality measures score is arguably the most meaningful piece because it reflects what's actually happening with residents day to day. Still, it's worth asking the admissions team how they manage staffing levels and whether there are particular shifts or days where coverage runs leaner. A 5-star overall rating is a great starting point, but these conversations help you understand the full picture before making a decision.

Staffing at Diamond Ridge Health And Rehabilitation Center is close to, but slightly below, what you'd typically see across Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 3.78 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, and RN coverage comes in at 0.50 hours per resident daily versus the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, these differences are small, but they do matter on a busy floor. A gap of roughly six minutes less in total nursing attention per resident each day might not sound like much, but when you multiply that across a full shift with many residents needing help with meals, medications, and mobility, it can affect how quickly staff respond to individual needs. It is worth asking the facility directly how they schedule their nurses and how they handle nights and weekends, since those are often the hours when staffing gets thinner and the difference between adequate and stretched coverage becomes more noticeable.

Diamond Ridge Health And Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which puts it above average compared to many facilities, and there are no government penalties or fines on record at all. For families doing their research, that combination is genuinely reassuring - it suggests the facility has consistently met care standards without running into the kind of serious violations that trigger financial penalties. No inspection history is perfect, and it is always worth reviewing the details of individual inspections, but this is a relatively clean record that gives families a reasonable level of confidence.
