Madison Health And Rehabilitation Center

Madison Health And Rehabilitation Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall number is a composite of three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one individually to get a clearer picture of what life might actually be like for a resident there.

The facility earned a perfect 5 stars for Health Inspections, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits. That is a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and is meeting regulatory standards. Staffing comes in at 3 stars, which is average, meaning the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to the total number of residents is right around the middle of the pack - not a red flag, but not a standout either. Families should feel comfortable asking about how staff is scheduled and whether there are consistent caregivers assigned to residents. The Quality Measures rating is 2 stars, which is below average. This score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 health indicators, things like whether residents experience falls, pressure sores, or declines in mobility. A lower score here is worth a direct conversation with the facility's care team. It is worth noting that CMS weights the Health Inspection score heavily in the overall rating, which helps explain why the composite still reaches 5 stars despite the lower quality measures score.

Staffing at Madison Health and Rehabilitation Center runs a bit below what you'd typically see at Florida nursing homes across the state. Registered nurses here provide about 0.45 hours per resident each day, compared to the Florida average of 0.52 hours, and total nurse hours come in at 3.63 per resident per day versus the state average of 3.87. In practical terms, those differences might not sound dramatic, but they can add up over the course of a day. Fewer RN hours can mean a little less time for things like monitoring health changes, coordinating care plans, or catching early warning signs before they become bigger problems. It does not necessarily mean residents receive poor care, since factors like staff experience and facility organization matter too, but it is worth asking the facility directly how they manage coverage during busy periods or overnight shifts.

Madison Health And Rehabilitation Center has a strong inspection track record. The facility holds a 5-out-of-5 star health inspection rating from the government, and there are zero penalties or fines on record. For families weighing their options, that kind of clean history is genuinely reassuring - it suggests the facility has consistently met care standards during inspections without the red flags that penalties can signal.
