Santa Rosa Center For Rehabilitation And Healing

Santa Rosa Center For Rehabilitation And Healing holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible and puts it well above average compared to nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, so it helps to understand what each one is actually measuring. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the physical environment and care practices are being well maintained. The staffing rating sits at 3 stars, which is average, meaning nurses and aides are spending a typical amount of time with residents relative to the facility's size. That is worth keeping in mind if your loved one has higher care needs, since more hands-on attention can make a real difference day to day.

The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, which is the strongest piece of this puzzle. That score is built from 15 clinical indicators tracking things like how often residents experience falls, pressure sores, infections, or declines in mobility, and scoring at the top means residents here are consistently seeing better health outcomes than at most other facilities. The overall 5-star composite reflects the weight of that excellent clinical performance alongside the solid inspection record, even with staffing landing in the middle of the pack. For families, the takeaway is that this facility has a strong track record of keeping residents healthy and safe, while staffing levels are something worth asking the facility directly about during a visit.

Santa Rosa Center For Rehabilitation And Healing has more registered nurse coverage than most Florida nursing homes, with RNs spending about 0.63 hours per resident each day compared to the state average of 0.52 hours. That means residents here tend to get a bit more direct attention from the most highly trained nursing staff on the floor, which can matter when it comes to catching health changes early or managing complex conditions. On the other hand, when you look at total nurse hours across all staff levels, the picture shifts a little. The facility averages 3.55 total nursing hours per resident per day, which falls slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that gap could mean there are moments during a typical day when aides and other nursing staff are stretched a bit thinner than at some comparable facilities. Neither number is alarming, but it is worth asking the facility how they staff overnight shifts and weekends, since that is often when the real difference shows up in day-to-day care.

Santa Rosa Center for Rehabilitation and Healing has a solid inspection track record. The facility holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which is above average and suggests state inspectors have generally found things to be in order during their visits. Just as importantly, there are zero government penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility. For families doing their research, that combination is reassuring. It does not mean the facility is perfect, but it does mean regulators have not found problems serious enough to result in formal action.
