Orange Park Rehabilitation And Nursing Center

Orange Park Rehabilitation And Nursing Center holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which reflects above-average performance when compared to other nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different, 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 - a good sign that the home is being run safely and that issues get addressed. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, which is based on 15 clinical indicators like wound care, falls, infections, and how well residents maintain their physical function. Scoring above average here suggests residents are generally receiving solid day-to-day care with better-than-typical health outcomes.

The one area worth paying attention to is staffing, which sits at 3 stars, or right at the national average. This rating reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the number of people living there. Average is not bad, but it does mean families should ask specific questions during a visit about nurse-to-resident ratios and how quickly staff respond when someone needs help. Overall, a 4-star rating is a genuinely encouraging sign, and the strong inspection and quality scores suggest the facility is performing well where it matters most. Just go in with good questions about staffing so you have a complete picture.

Staffing at Orange Park Rehabilitation And Nursing Center is pretty close to typical when you look at how it compares to other Florida nursing homes. Registered nurses here provide about 0.53 hours of care per resident each day, which is essentially the same as the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That works out to roughly 30 minutes of RN attention per person over the course of a full day, which gives you a sense of how limited that one-on-one time can be. Total nurse hours, which includes RNs, LPNs, and certified nursing assistants combined, come in at 3.62 hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That gap of about 15 minutes per day might not sound like much, but across a full shift, it can affect how quickly staff respond to call lights, how thoroughly residents are assisted with meals and personal care, and the overall pace of the floor. It is not a dramatic difference, but families should keep it in mind when weighing their options.

Orange Park Rehabilitation And Nursing Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, which is above average and suggests the facility has generally been meeting care standards during inspections. Just as notably, there are no penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility. For families, that combination is reassuring - it means regulators have not found problems serious enough to warrant financial punishment, which is not the case for every nursing home you will come across in your search. This does not mean the facility is perfect, but the absence of penalties is a meaningful positive data point worth weighing alongside other factors like staffing and resident reviews.
