Coquina Center

Coquina Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall number is a composite of three separate ratings, and it is worth understanding each one on its own. The health inspection rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few or no serious problems during their visits - a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and in compliance with care standards. The quality measures rating is also a 5, which looks at 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and how well residents maintain their physical function. Scoring at the top here suggests residents are actually experiencing good health outcomes day to day.

The one area families should look at closely is the staffing rating, which sits at just 1 star. This reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to how many people live there, and a 1-star score means it is much lower than the national average. In practical terms, that could mean nurses and aides are stretched thin, which can affect how quickly call lights get answered or how much personal attention your loved one receives. It is worth asking the facility directly about their staffing levels and how they handle nights, weekends, and high-need residents. The strong inspection and quality outcomes scores are genuinely encouraging, but the staffing gap is a real question to raise before making a decision.

Staffing levels at Coquina Center fall below what you'd typically see at Florida nursing homes across the state. Registered nurses here provide about 0.30 hours per resident each day, compared to the Florida average of 0.52 hours, which means residents get roughly 11 minutes of RN time daily instead of the about 19 minutes that the average facility provides. When you factor in all nursing staff combined, Coquina Center offers 3.19 total nurse hours per resident per day, while the state average sits at 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that gap adds up throughout the day, potentially meaning a little less time for monitoring, responding to concerns, or hands-on care during busy shifts. These numbers don't tell the whole story about quality, but they're worth keeping in mind as you compare your options.

Coquina Center has a clean track record when it comes to government oversight. It holds a 5-out-of-5 star health inspection rating, which is the highest possible, and there are no penalties or fines on record at all. For families doing their research, that's a genuinely reassuring sign. It suggests the facility has consistently met state and federal care standards without the kind of serious violations that trigger formal enforcement action. No record is perfect forever, and it's always worth asking questions during a tour, but this history gives families a solid starting point for trust.
