Stuart Rehabilitation And Healthcare

Stuart Rehabilitation And Healthcare holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents.

Looking at the pieces individually, the 4-star Health Inspection rating tells you that state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the building is being run safely and responsibly. The 4-star Staffing rating means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the national average, so your loved one is less likely to feel overlooked or have to wait long for help. The one area that sits closer to the middle is Quality Measures, which earned 3 stars. This rating is based on 15 clinical outcomes like how often residents develop pressure wounds, experience falls, or need to be hospitalized, and average means the facility is in line with most others but not standing out. For families, this is worth a follow-up conversation with the facility to understand which specific measures bring that score to average, since the strong inspection and staffing numbers suggest the foundation is solid.

Staffing at Stuart Rehabilitation And Healthcare is pretty close to the Florida average overall, but there is one number that really stands out. The facility provides about 3.88 total nurse hours per resident each day, which is nearly identical to the statewide average of 3.87 among Florida nursing homes. However, when you look specifically at registered nurse coverage, this facility offers roughly 1.04 RN hours per resident per day, which is double the Florida average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here are more likely to have a higher-credentialed nurse involved in their care throughout the day, whether that is for monitoring a health change, managing medications, or coordinating with doctors. RNs have more advanced training than aides or licensed practical nurses, so having more of their time available can matter quite a bit when something unexpected comes up with a loved one's health.

Stuart Rehabilitation And Healthcare has a solid inspection track record. The facility holds a 4 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 combination is genuinely reassuring - it suggests the facility has been meeting care standards consistently without running into serious compliance issues. No history of penalties does not guarantee a perfect experience, but it is a meaningful green flag when you are narrowing down your options.
