Memorial Manor

Memorial Manor earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above most nursing homes nationwide. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, each measuring something different about how a facility operates, so it helps to look at each piece on its own.

On staffing, Memorial Manor scores a perfect 5 stars, meaning nurses spend significantly more time with residents than the national average. For families, that translates to quicker responses, more attentive day-to-day care, and less of the understaffing that tends to be a root cause of problems in nursing homes. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, which means state inspectors found fewer and less serious violations than most facilities - a reassuring sign that the basics of safe, compliant care are being handled well. The one area worth a conversation with the facility is quality measures, which sits at 3 stars, or average. This score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 tracked health indicators, things like rates of falls, pressure ulcers, or hospital readmissions. Average is not alarming, but families may want to ask the admissions team which specific measures bring that score down and what steps the facility is taking to improve them.

Memorial Manor's staffing numbers stand out compared to most Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 1.59 hours of registered nurse time per day, which is more than three times the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means an RN is much more likely to be nearby when a resident needs one, rather than stretched thin across a large number of people. Total nursing hours, which include CNAs and other nursing staff, come in at 4.70 hours per resident per day compared to the state average of 3.87. For families, that half-hour or more of additional daily care time can translate to more consistent help with meals, mobility, and personal needs throughout the day. These numbers suggest a facility that invests more in hands-on care than many of its peers, which is worth factoring into your decision.

Memorial Manor has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, and there are no government penalties or fines on record at any point in the facility's history. For families doing their homework, that's a meaningful detail. It suggests the facility has consistently met care standards without regulators stepping in to take corrective action. No record is perfect, and a 4-star rating still leaves some room for improvement, but the absence of penalties is a reassuring sign that serious violations have not been an issue here.
