Hialeah Shores Nursing And Rehab Center

Hialeah Shores Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it in the top tier of nursing facilities nationwide. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, so it reflects how the facility performs across inspections, staffing, and actual resident health outcomes together. Health inspections came back with a perfect 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, significant problems during their visits. That is one of the stronger signals of day-to-day care quality, since inspectors are looking at real conditions on the ground.

The staffing and quality measures ratings both landed at 4 stars, which is above average. For staffing, that means nurses are spending more time with residents than most comparable facilities, which generally translates to quicker responses and more attentive care. The quality measures rating looks at 15 clinical outcomes like fall rates, pressure wounds, and how well residents maintain their physical function, and scoring above average there suggests residents are experiencing better-than-typical health results during their stay. Taken together, this is a strong profile for a facility, and families can feel reasonably confident they are looking at a place that performs well across the board.

Staffing at Hialeah Shores Nursing And Rehab Center looks pretty solid when you compare it to similar facilities across the state. Residents here receive about 3.90 total nurse hours per day, which is right in line with the Florida average of 3.87 hours, meaning the overall nursing presence is fairly typical for the region. Where this facility really stands out is in registered nurse coverage. At 1.28 RN hours per resident per day, it more than doubles the Florida average of just 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means residents are more likely to have a higher-trained nurse checking in on them throughout the day, not just an aide or LPN handling most of the care. RNs are the ones who catch early warning signs, manage complex medical needs, and make clinical decisions, so having more of that specialized attention matters quite a bit for residents with serious health conditions. Compared to many Florida nursing homes, this level of RN coverage is a meaningful advantage worth noting as you weigh your options.

Hialeah Shores Nursing and Rehab Center has a strong inspection 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, this is genuinely good news - it means inspectors have consistently found this facility meeting or exceeding care standards, with no serious violations serious enough to trigger financial penalties. That kind of clean track record is worth noting when you are weighing your options.
