Plantation Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Plantation Nursing & Rehabilitation Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above most facilities nationwide. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, so it's worth knowing what each one tells you. The 4-star health inspection rating means that when state inspectors visited and reviewed the facility, they found fewer or less serious problems than most nursing homes - a good sign that care practices and safety standards are being maintained. The 3-star staffing rating lands right at average, meaning the number of nurse hours per resident is comparable to a typical facility, though not exceptional - families with loved ones who have higher care needs may want to ask specifically about staffing during their visit. The 5-star quality measures rating is where this facility really stands out, reflecting much better than average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like how residents are managing with pain, mobility, infections, and other health markers.

What this means practically is that residents at Plantation Nursing & Rehabilitation Center tend to experience strong health outcomes relative to what you'd see elsewhere, and the facility holds up well under regulatory scrutiny. The staffing piece is the one area where the facility is middle-of-the-road rather than exceptional, but the exceptional quality outcomes suggest the staff that is there is working effectively. For most families, a 5-star overall rating with these sub-scores would be a genuinely reassuring sign.

Staffing levels at Plantation Nursing & Rehabilitation Center are notably higher than what you'll find at most Florida nursing homes, and that difference can have a real impact on day-to-day care. Registered nurses here average 1.24 hours per resident each day, compared to the Florida average of just 0.52 hours. That means residents are more likely to have a trained RN available when questions or concerns come up, rather than waiting for one to become free. Total nursing hours, which includes all nursing staff, come in at 4.93 hours per resident per day versus the state average of 3.87. In practical terms, more nursing hours generally means call lights get answered faster, medications are administered more carefully, and residents get more consistent attention throughout the day and night. These numbers suggest this facility is investing more in hands-on care than the average Florida facility, which is something worth weighing as you compare your options.

Plantation Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which puts it above average compared to many facilities across Florida. Just as importantly, it has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning inspectors have not found issues serious enough to warrant formal enforcement action. That combination is a reassuring sign for families, though it is always worth visiting in person and asking questions during your tour. You can compare this facility's record against others in Plantation on the Plantation nursing homes and assisted living page.
