Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 42m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 45m per day ▼ 4% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 8m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 20m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 11m per day ▲ 120% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 30m per day ▼ 6% State avg: 32m per day · National avg: 29m per day

Inspection History

In Florida, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is the primary authority that conducts unannounced inspections and completes official health quality reports for all healthcare facilities.

Since 2021 · 5 years of data 9 citations
Inspection Score Info A composite 0–100 score combining this facility's inspections, citations, complaints, and enforcement actions relative to the Florida state average. We don't score profiles with fewer than 3 inspections on record because a small inspection history reads as "below average" on every count-based metric — that would over-reward a facility just for being new.

Limited inspection history. Not enough information to score against the Florida benchmark.

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on June 20, 2024, found deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to thoroughly investigate a possible elopement incident, including incomplete documentation and risk evaluation. Earlier inspections identified issues with resident care such as use of physical restraints, incomplete investigations, improper discharge procedures, and errors in therapy and billing practices. Inspectors cited main themes including documentation and investigation deficiencies, care plan implementation, and regulatory compliance with resident rights and services. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated, including a notable case involving physical restraint and delayed reporting, while others involved discharge and billing concerns. The pattern of findings suggests ongoing challenges with documentation and procedural compliance, with no clear trend toward improvement or worsening over time.
