Beachside Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing

Beachside Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it in the top tier of nursing facilities nationally. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, each measuring something different about the facility. On health inspections, Beachside earned 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems there than at most facilities. That is a strong result and suggests the facility is generally well-run from a safety and compliance standpoint. Staffing came in at 3 stars, which is average, meaning the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to the size of the resident population is in line with typical facilities but not a standout. That is worth keeping in mind if your loved one has complex care needs that require frequent hands-on attention. The brightest spot is the Quality Measures rating, a perfect 5 stars, which is based on 15 clinical indicators like rates of falls, pressure wounds, infections, and how well residents maintain their physical functioning. That top score suggests residents at Beachside are experiencing genuinely good health outcomes day to day.

When you put it all together, the 5-star overall rating reflects a facility that excels in real-world resident health outcomes and performs well on safety inspections, even if staffing levels are middle-of-the-road. For most families, this profile is reassuring, though it is always a good idea to ask the facility directly about staff-to-resident ratios during the specific shifts when your loved one would need the most support.

Staffing at Beachside Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here receive about 0.57 RN hours per day, which is slightly above the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That difference is small, but it does mean a little more time with a higher-skilled nurse on a typical day, which can matter when a resident needs clinical judgment or a more complex care decision. When you look at total nursing hours across all staff combined, though, the facility comes in at 3.74 hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87. That gap suggests that while RN coverage is a modest strength here, the overall nursing team may be stretched a little thinner than average across the full day. Neither number is alarming, but families should feel comfortable asking how staffing levels shift between day, evening, and overnight shifts, since those averages can look very different depending on when your loved one needs help.

Beachside Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing has a solid inspection track record. The facility holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, and there are zero penalties or fines on record. That's genuinely good news for families, as it suggests inspectors have not found issues serious enough to result in formal enforcement action. A clean penalty history doesn't mean a facility is perfect, but it does mean regulators haven't had reason to step in with financial consequences. Combined with the above-average inspection rating, this facility's compliance history is one of the stronger points in its favor when you're doing your research.
