Tamarac Rehabilitation And Health Center

Tamarac Rehabilitation And Health Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects strong performance across nearly every area that matters to families. The overall rating is built from three separate scores, and this facility did exceptionally well in two of them while still performing above average in the third. Health Inspections came in at 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits, which is a good sign that the facility is being run safely and responsibly on a day-to-day basis. Quality Measures also hit 5 stars, covering 15 different clinical outcomes like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, and helps residents maintain their physical function, so families can feel confident that residents are receiving strong hands-on care. Staffing landed at 4 stars, which is above average and means nurses are spending more time with residents than at most facilities, even if it falls just short of the top tier.

Taken together, this is a genuinely impressive profile. A 5-star overall rating with two perfect sub-scores and a strong third is not something most facilities achieve, and it gives families a reasonable basis for confidence when considering this facility for a loved one.

Staffing at Tamarac Rehabilitation And Health Center is fairly close to what you'd find at most Florida nursing homes, but there are a few details worth understanding. On the registered nurse side, this facility actually comes in higher than the state average, with 0.68 RN hours per resident each day compared to Florida's average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have a bit more access to higher-level nursing care throughout the day, which can matter when it comes to things like medication management or handling a sudden change in condition. Total nursing hours, which include CNAs and other care staff, come in at 3.84 hours per resident per day, just a hair below the Florida average of 3.87. That difference is small enough that most families wouldn't notice it in day-to-day care. Overall, the staffing picture here is reasonably consistent with what similar facilities offer across the state, with a slight edge on registered nurse coverage.

Tamarac Rehabilitation And Health Center has a clean record when it comes to government oversight. It holds a 5-out-of-5 star health inspection rating, has never received a government penalty, and has no fines on record. For families doing their research, that's a genuinely reassuring picture. It means inspectors have consistently found this facility to be meeting care standards, and no serious violations have led to financial consequences. That doesn't mean every family's experience will be perfect, but from a regulatory standpoint, this is the kind of track record you want to see.
