Moultrie Creek Nursing And Rehab Center

Moultrie Creek Nursing And Rehab Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects strong performance across most areas. That overall number is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different. The health inspection rating comes in at 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few or no significant problems during their visits - that is a good sign that the facility is being run safely and that concerns are being caught and addressed. The quality measures rating is also 5 stars, which looks at 15 real clinical outcomes for residents, things like whether people are developing pressure wounds, experiencing falls, or losing mobility. Scoring at the top here suggests residents are generally receiving care that leads to good day-to-day health outcomes. Staffing lands at 3 stars, which is average, meaning the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to the resident population is in line with typical facilities but not notably high. For families, this is worth a conversation with the facility about how staff are scheduled and whether residents get consistent, attentive care during busy shifts.

The good news is that two of the three building blocks are as strong as they can be, and the overall 5-star rating reflects that. The average staffing score does not cancel out those strengths, but it is a reasonable thing to ask about when you visit. Understanding how many nurses and aides are on the floor at different times of day can help you get a clearer picture of what daily life looks like for your loved one.

Staffing levels at Moultrie Creek Nursing And Rehab Center fall slightly below what you'd typically see at other Florida nursing homes. The facility averages 3.68 total nurse hours per resident each day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That difference might sound small, but spread across a full day it can affect how quickly staff respond to call lights, how much hands-on help residents get with meals or bathing, and how much time nurses have to monitor changes in a resident's condition. The bigger gap shows up in registered nurse coverage specifically, where this facility averages just 0.29 RN hours per resident per day versus the state average of 0.52. RNs handle more complex medical decisions and care coordination, so lower RN hours can matter more than the overall numbers suggest. None of this means care here is poor, but it is something worth asking the facility about during a tour, especially if your loved one has significant medical needs.

Moultrie Creek Nursing and Rehab Center has a strong inspection record. The facility holds a 5-out-of-5 star health inspection rating from the government, and there are zero penalties on record, meaning no fines have ever been issued. For families doing their research, this is genuinely good news. It suggests that inspectors have consistently found this facility to be meeting care standards, and there are no red flags in the compliance history to raise concerns. That does not mean perfection is guaranteed going forward, but a clean record like this is a meaningful positive sign when you are weighing your options.
