Floridean Health & Rehabilitation Center

Floridean Health & Rehabilitation Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, so it reflects a well-rounded picture of the facility rather than one standout area. On health inspections, the center received 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities. On staffing, another 4-star score, nurses are spending more time with residents than average, which in practical terms means your loved one is less likely to have to wait long for help or attention. The quality measures rating came in at a perfect 5 stars, which is based on 15 clinical indicators like wound care, falls, infections, and how well residents maintain their physical functioning. That top score suggests residents here are experiencing genuinely strong health outcomes day to day.

The fact that the overall rating reaches 5 stars even with two sub-ratings at 4 stars speaks well of the facility as a whole. No single area is dragging the others down, and the exceptional quality measures score reflects what matters most to families in a concrete way - that residents are being well cared for and staying healthier while living there. For a family weighing options, this profile suggests Floridean is a place where both the staff and the systems in place are working together consistently.

Staffing at Floridean Health & Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture worth understanding before you make a decision. On the registered nurse (RN) side, residents here receive about 1.26 hours of RN care per day, which is noticeably 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 around when your loved one needs attention, whether that's for medication management, wound care, or catching a health change early. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff levels, including CNAs and LPNs, the facility comes in at 3.61 hours per resident per day, which is slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That gap suggests that while RN oversight is strong here, the hands-on, day-to-day help with bathing, meals, and mobility may be a little thinner than what you'd find at some other Florida nursing homes. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it is worth asking the facility directly about how they schedule staff across shifts, especially overnight and on weekends.

Floridean Health & Rehabilitation Center holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which is a solid mark and suggests the facility generally meets care standards. That said, the facility does have 4 government penalties on record, with total fines adding up to $13,713, and the most recent penalty was issued in June 2023. These penalties are worth asking about during a visit or tour - they don't necessarily indicate a pattern of serious neglect, but families should feel comfortable asking staff directly what the violations were and what steps were taken to correct them. Overall, the inspection history here is relatively middle-of-the-road, not a red flag, but not a clean record either. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Miami on the Miami nursing homes and assisted living page.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift and night shift, and has that number changed in the past year?
2. How long have most of your floor nurses and aides been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like compared to last year?
3. Can you show me your most recent state inspection report, and walk me through any deficiencies that were cited and what you did to fix them?
4. If my loved one had a fall or a medical emergency in the middle of the night, what exactly happens in the first 30 minutes, and how quickly would someone call me?
5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who has limited mobility but is mentally sharp, from morning until bedtime?
6. How do you handle a situation where a family member feels their loved one is not getting the right care or is being ignored, and can you give me a real example of how that was resolved?
