Savannas Park Health And Rehabilitation Center

Savannas Park Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, meaning it falls in the average range based on the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections. That is worth keeping an eye on, but it does not signal anything alarming. The staffing rating is 4 stars, which is a good sign - it means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than at most facilities, which can make a real difference in day-to-day care and responsiveness. The standout here is the quality measures rating, a perfect 5 stars, meaning resident health outcomes across 15 clinical areas - things like mobility, wounds, infections, and pain management - are much better than average.

Practically speaking, this is a facility that appears to deliver strong hands-on care and excellent health outcomes for residents. The inspection history is middle-of-the-road, so it would be reasonable to ask the facility directly about any recent citations and what steps they have taken to address them. Overall, a 4-star rating backed by top-tier quality measures and solid staffing is a combination that gives families good reason for confidence.

Staffing at Savannas Park Health And Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the positive side, residents here receive about 4.42 total nurse hours per day, which is higher than the Florida average of 3.87 hours, meaning there are generally more hands-on care hours from the nursing team overall. That can translate to more time for help with daily needs like bathing, meals, and mobility. However, the facility falls short when it comes to registered nurses specifically, logging 0.40 RN hours per resident per day versus the state average of 0.52. RNs handle more complex medical decisions and assessments, so having fewer of them on the floor each day could matter if your loved one has significant health conditions that need close monitoring. It is worth asking the facility directly how they structure their shifts and how RN coverage is handled overnight and on weekends.

Savannas Park Health And Rehabilitation Center holds a middle-of-the-road 3-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which means inspectors have found some concerns over time but nothing that puts it at the bottom of the pack. That said, the facility has a clean slate when it comes to formal penalties - no fines and no penalties on record at all. For families, that combination suggests a facility that may have room to improve on inspection findings but has not crossed lines serious enough to trigger government fines or formal enforcement action. It is worth reading through the actual inspection reports to understand what kinds of issues came up, since a 3-star rating does reflect real findings even without penalties attached.
