What the Ratings Mean
Community Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating, meaning it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, with the health inspection score carrying the most weight in pulling the final number up.
The health inspection rating of 4 stars is the strongest piece here, reflecting that state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems at this facility than at most others. That is a meaningful signal for families, since inspections look at real, on-the-ground conditions. The staffing and quality measures ratings both come in at 3 stars, which puts the facility right in the middle of the pack. The staffing score means nurses and aides are spending an average amount of time per resident each day - not a red flag, but worth asking about if your loved one has higher care needs. The quality measures score, also average, is based on clinical outcomes like how often residents develop pressure sores, experience falls, or lose the ability to move around. A 3 here suggests the facility is doing about as well as most, but not standing out as exceptional. Taken together, the strong inspection record is what lifts this facility above the average overall, while staffing and outcomes leave some room for families to dig a little deeper with questions during a visit.
Staffing at a Glance
Community Health And Rehabilitation Center averages about 4.07 total nurse hours per resident each day, which is actually a bit higher than what most Florida nursing homes provide at 3.87 hours. That means residents here, on average, get a little more hands-on time from the nursing team overall, which can make a real difference for things like repositioning, personal care, and general check-ins throughout the day. However, the registered nurse hours tell a different story. RNs here log about 0.42 hours per resident daily, compared to a Florida average of 0.52 hours. RNs are the most highly trained nurses on the floor, so slightly less time with them could matter if your loved one has complex medical needs that require closer clinical oversight. The overall picture is mixed - stronger on total staffing, a little lighter on the RN side - so it is worth asking the facility how they typically staff different shifts and how quickly an RN is available when a resident needs one.
Inspection & Penalty History
Community Health And Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, which reflects above-average performance in how well the facility meets care and safety standards during official reviews. Just as importantly, there are zero penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility. For families weighing their options, that combination is genuinely reassuring - it suggests inspectors have not found the kind of serious or repeated problems that tend to trigger government action. No record is perfect, and you should still visit in person and ask questions, but there are no red flags here to cause concern.
