Springtree Rehabilitation & Health Care Center

Springtree Rehabilitation & Health Care Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which reflects how the facility performs across three separate categories. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the number and severity of citations from state inspections are about average compared to other nursing homes in the country. That is not a red flag, but it is worth asking the facility directly about any recent findings if that matters to your family. Where Springtree really stands out is in staffing and quality measures, both earning 5 stars. The staffing score means nurses are spending significantly more hours per day with residents than you would find at a typical facility, which generally translates to more attentive, responsive care. The quality measures score reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, and maintains residents' physical functioning.

The overall 5-star rating is a composite that weighs all three categories together, and in Springtree's case, the exceptional staffing and quality outcomes clearly carry the score. For families, that combination is particularly meaningful. Having enough staff on hand and seeing strong health outcomes in residents are two of the most practical signs that day-to-day care is being delivered well. The average health inspection score keeps things honest, but the full picture here is genuinely encouraging.

Staffing levels at Springtree Rehabilitation & Health Care Center come in slightly above what you'd typically see at Florida nursing homes, which is worth noting when you're trying to picture what daily care actually looks like. Residents here receive about 4.31 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, and registered nurse hours come in at 0.61 versus the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, that difference means nurses and aides are generally spending a bit more time with each resident throughout the day, whether that's help with meals, repositioning, medication, or just checking in. It's not a dramatic gap, but in a busy care setting, even small increases in staff attention can matter, especially for residents who need more hands-on support.

Springtree Rehabilitation & Health Care Center has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement compared to higher-rated homes in the area. That said, there are no government penalties on record and no fines have ever been issued against this facility, which is a genuinely positive sign. A clean penalty history means regulators have not found violations serious enough to warrant formal action, and that matters when you are trying to gauge how a facility responds to problems over time. Taken together, the inspection rating is worth keeping an eye on, but the absence of penalties gives families at least some reassurance.
