Benderson Family Skilled Nursing And Rehab Center

Benderson Family Skilled Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS - the highest possible - which is a composite of three separate scores that each look at a different piece of what daily life and care look like inside a facility. The health inspection rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits. That's a strong sign that the facility is being run carefully and that residents aren't being put at risk through neglect or poor practices. The staffing rating is also 5 stars, which means nurses and aides are spending significantly more time with each resident than you'd typically see elsewhere. In practical terms, that translates to call lights getting answered, residents being turned and repositioned to prevent bedsores, and staff having enough bandwidth to actually know their residents.

The quality measures rating comes in at 4 stars - above average, though not perfect. This score is drawn from 15 clinical indicators, things like how often residents develop infections, experience falls, lose too much weight, or need to be hospitalized. A 4 here is genuinely good and means outcomes for residents are better than most facilities, even if there's a small margin of room to improve. Taken together, these three scores paint a picture of a facility that's well-staffed, well-managed, and delivering strong results for the people in its care - which is about as reassuring a combination as a family can find when weighing options.

Staffing levels at Benderson Family Skilled Nursing And Rehab Center come in above what you'd typically see across Florida nursing homes, which is worth noting when you're trying to picture what daily care actually looks like for a resident. On an average day, each resident here receives about 4.66 total nurse hours of attention, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 - that gap can translate to staff having a little more time to help with meals, respond to call lights, or just check in without feeling rushed. The registered nurse numbers are also higher, at 0.74 hours per resident per day versus the state average of 0.52, meaning more of that care time comes from higher-credentialed nurses who can catch changes in a resident's condition earlier. None of this guarantees a perfect experience, but more nursing hours generally means residents are less likely to wait long for help and more likely to have someone notice when something seems off.

Benderson Family Skilled Nursing And Rehab Center has a strong inspection track record - it holds a 5-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, and there are no penalties or fines on record at all. For families doing their research, that's genuinely reassuring. It means inspectors haven't found the kinds of serious or repeated problems that trigger financial penalties, and the facility has consistently met care standards over time. While no rating tells the whole story, a clean penalty history combined with a top inspection score is a good sign that this is a facility that takes compliance and care quality seriously.
