St Annes Nursing Center, St Annes Residence Inc

St. Anne's Nursing Center earns an overall 4-star rating, which means above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite that pulls together three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. Two of those three areas are genuinely impressive. The staffing rating is 5 stars, meaning residents here get significantly more nurse time per day than what you'd find at a typical nursing home. That matters in a real, day-to-day way because more staff generally means faster response times, more attentive care, and less burnout among the people looking after your loved one. The quality measures rating is also 5 stars, which reflects how well residents are doing physically and clinically across 15 tracked health outcomes, things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management. Together, these two scores are strong indicators of what life actually looks like inside the building.

The one area to pay attention to is the health inspection rating, which comes in at 2 stars, meaning below average. This score reflects findings from state inspections, specifically the number and seriousness of citations regulators issued when they walked through the facility. It doesn't necessarily mean the home is unsafe, but it does suggest some compliance gaps that caught inspectors' attention. Because health inspections carry significant weight in how CMS calculates the overall score, they're likely what kept St. Anne's from reaching a full 5-star overall rating despite excelling in staffing and care outcomes. If you're seriously considering this facility, it's worth asking the admissions team directly about recent inspection findings and what steps they've taken to address them.

St. Annes Nursing Center stands out when it comes to registered nurse coverage. Residents here receive about 0.98 RN hours per day, which is nearly double the Florida average of 0.52 hours - and that difference matters in real, practical ways. A higher RN presence means more time for medication management, wound care, and catching early warning signs before small issues become serious ones. When you compare this to most Florida nursing homes, where a resident might see an RN for roughly 30 minutes a day, the extra attention at St. Annes could mean a quicker response when your loved one isn't feeling right. Total nurse hours, which include all nursing staff, come in at 3.90 per resident per day, just slightly above the Florida average of 3.87, so the overall care team size is fairly typical - but the quality of that nursing coverage, with more registered nurses in the mix, is genuinely above the norm for the state.

St. Anne's Nursing Center has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth taking seriously as you research care options. The facility has one government penalty on record, with a fine of $3,728 issued in November 2023. That single penalty and fine amount is relatively modest compared to what some facilities accumulate, but the below-average inspection rating suggests that state inspectors have found recurring concerns worth noting. It does not mean the facility is unsafe, but it does mean families should ask detailed questions during any tour, request to see recent inspection reports, and pay attention to how staff interact with residents on the day of their visit.
