Jackson Gardens Health And Rehabilitation Center

Jackson Gardens Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That top-line number is a composite drawn from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for residents. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems here than at most facilities. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, reflecting that nurses spend more time with residents than the average facility, which practically means your loved one is less likely to wait long for help or attention. The quality measures rating reaches the full 5 stars, the strongest of the three, based on 15 clinical indicators like how often residents develop pressure wounds, experience falls, or need hospitalization. This is often the most telling category because it reflects real health outcomes for the people living there.

Together, these scores paint a genuinely encouraging picture. No facility is perfect, and the 4-star health inspection score suggests there were some findings during state reviews, though nothing that dragged the overall rating down. The combination of strong staffing and exceptional quality outcomes suggests that the care residents actually receive day-to-day is translating into better health results. For families comparing options, Jackson Gardens stands out as a facility that performs well across the board, not just in one area.

At Jackson Gardens Health And Rehabilitation Center, residents receive about 3.62 total nurse hours per day, which is slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours across Florida nursing homes. In practical terms, that difference is fairly small, and on a typical day most residents would likely not notice a meaningful gap in hands-on attention. Where Jackson Gardens actually stands out is in registered nurse coverage specifically. With 1.28 RN hours per resident per day compared to the Florida average of just 0.52, the facility provides more than double the RN presence you would typically expect. That matters because RNs handle more complex clinical decisions, medication management, and situations that require a higher level of medical training. So while the overall nursing hours are close to average, families can take some comfort in knowing that a more clinically experienced presence is on the floor more often than is typical for the region.

Jackson Gardens Health and Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, which puts it above average compared to many facilities. There are no penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility, which is genuinely good news for families doing their research. A clean penalty history does not guarantee a perfect experience, but it does suggest the facility has consistently met care standards during inspections without running into serious compliance issues. Overall, this is one of the cleaner records you will come across in your search. You can compare this facility's record against others in Miami on the Miami nursing homes and assisted living page.
