Hunters Creek Nursing And Rehab Center

Hunters Creek Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which puts it above average compared to other nursing homes across the country. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and what's interesting here is how the pieces add up. Two of the three sub-ratings land at 3 stars, which is average, but a perfect 5-star score in one key area is pulling that overall number up significantly.

The health inspection rating of 3 stars means the facility has received a fairly typical number of citations during state inspections, nothing that stands out as especially concerning but not a clean record either. The staffing rating of 3 stars tells you that nurse coverage relative to the number of residents is around average for the industry, so families shouldn't expect unusually attentive staffing but it's not a red flag. Where this facility really shines is in quality measures, earning a full 5 stars. This rating is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like managing pain, preventing infections, maintaining mobility, and avoiding unnecessary hospital trips. A top score here means residents are, on the whole, experiencing strong health outcomes, which is often the most direct reflection of the care actually being delivered day to day.

Staffing at Hunters Creek Nursing And Rehab Center comes in slightly above what you'd typically see at Florida nursing homes, which is a modest but meaningful difference for day-to-day care. Residents here receive about 4.02 total nurse hours per day compared to the state average of 3.87, and the facility's registered nurses log 0.64 hours per resident daily versus the Florida average of 0.52. In practical terms, that extra time adds up across a full day - it can mean a nurse has a few more minutes to notice a change in how a resident is feeling, respond to a call light a little sooner, or simply have a real conversation during a medication pass. These aren't dramatic gaps, but when your loved one needs consistent attention, even small differences in nurse availability can matter.

Hunters Creek Nursing and Rehab Center holds a middle-of-the-road 3-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which suggests performance that is adequate but not standout. The facility has two government penalties on record, with fines totaling $59,368, and the most recent penalty came down in November 2024, meaning this is fairly recent activity worth paying attention to. That level of fines and a penalty this current is not something to dismiss, but it also does not place the facility among the most troubled in the state. Families should ask the facility directly about what issues led to these citations and what steps have been taken to address them before making a decision.
