Seven Hills Health & Rehabilitation Center

Seven Hills Health & Rehabilitation Center 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, and it's worth understanding what each one tells you. The health inspection rating is also 4 stars, which is a strong sign - it means state inspectors found relatively few problems, and any issues they did find were not severe. That's a meaningful indicator of how well the facility follows care standards day to day. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, or average, meaning resident health outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and mobility are in line with typical facilities but not a standout.

The area to pay closest attention to is staffing, which earned just 2 stars. This means nurses and aides are spending less time with each resident than you'd see at most facilities. Staffing levels directly affect how quickly call lights get answered, how attentive personal care is, and how closely staff can monitor changes in a resident's condition. It doesn't mean care is unsafe, but it's a real-world factor that families should ask the facility about directly - specifically about nurse-to-resident ratios on different shifts. The good inspection history helps keep the overall rating high, but the staffing gap is worth a candid conversation before making a decision.

Seven Hills Health & Rehabilitation Center provides about 3.66 total nurse hours per resident each day, which is slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours across Florida nursing homes. In practical terms, that gap is relatively small, but it does mean residents may have a bit less hands-on nursing time throughout the day compared to the typical facility in the state. On the brighter side, the facility's registered nurse coverage comes in at 0.59 hours per resident daily, which is actually a touch higher than the Florida average of 0.52 hours, suggesting that when medical decisions need to be made, there's a somewhat stronger RN presence on the floor. Overall, the staffing picture here is pretty close to average, with a modest trade-off between total nurse hours and RN-specific time.

Seven Hills Health & Rehabilitation Center has a solid inspection track record. It holds a 4-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which puts it above average compared to many facilities across the state. Importantly, the facility has no penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning inspectors have not found violations serious enough to trigger any formal enforcement action. That is a genuinely reassuring sign for families, and while no facility is perfect, this history suggests the facility has consistently met care standards during inspections.
