Fountain Manor Health & Rehabilitation Center

Fountain Manor Health & Rehabilitation Center holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall number is a composite, meaning it pulls together three separate sub-ratings, and a particularly strong score in one area can lift the total even if others are more middle-of-the-road.

Looking at the individual pieces, the 3-star health inspection rating means the facility lands about average when it comes to citations found during state inspections - inspectors didn't flag anything unusually serious, but there's room for improvement compared to top-rated homes. The 3-star staffing rating tells a similar story: residents are getting a fairly typical amount of nurse time each day, though families should know that higher-staffed facilities do exist if hands-on care time is a priority for their loved one. Where Fountain Manor really stands out is its 5-star quality measures rating, which is the highest score possible. This reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators - things like how well residents maintain mobility, avoid infections, manage pain, and stay out of the hospital. For families, that top score is meaningful because it speaks directly to how residents are actually doing day to day. It suggests the care being delivered is producing genuinely good results, even if staffing levels and inspection history are just average.

Staffing at Fountain Manor Health & Rehabilitation Center comes in above average when compared to other Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 1.01 hours of registered nurse time per day, which is nearly double the Florida average of 0.52 hours. Total nurse hours, which includes RNs, LPNs, and certified nursing assistants combined, run about 4.16 hours per resident per day, compared to the state average of 3.87. In practical terms, that extra time adds up across a full day. It can mean a nurse is more available to notice changes in a resident's condition, respond to call lights, or simply spend a few more minutes with someone who needs extra attention. These numbers do not tell the whole story of a facility's quality, but for families weighing their options, higher staffing ratios are generally a positive sign.

Fountain Manor Health & Rehabilitation Center has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but may have had some areas flagged for improvement during inspections. That said, the facility has a genuinely clean penalty record, with zero government penalties and no fines issued. No penalties does not mean a perfect facility, but it does mean regulators have never found problems serious enough to result in formal punishment, which is a meaningful positive for families doing their research. Overall, this is a mixed but reasonably reassuring picture, worth weighing alongside other factors like staff ratings and resident reviews.
