State documents tracking 25 separate evaluations from March 2015 through March 2025 detail 27 total line-item deficiencies, an annual average that tracks 46% lower than the standard Florida baseline. Because 16 of those 25 inspections historically resulted in a minor citation on initial paperwork, the facility holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection. Early-period files from 2017 and 2018 documented sporadic marks involving admissions procedures, resident care, and medication management, which were all addressed and corrected by the provider.
The data highlights a strong compliance trajectory in recent years, with the six most recent inspections spanning from 2021 through March 2025 all returning completely clean. The operator has never faced financial fines or state administrative enforcement actions.
Interested individuals looking for an established continuum of care can view these consistent public records as an indicator of stable administrative management. Since the government tracking logs confirm that past administrative hurdles have since given way to a multi-year streak of flawless state evaluations, the files indicate an attentive operational framework.

Records maintained by the state detail 26 total infractions discovered during 23 different regulatory visits over a 13-year span. Annually, this averages out to 1.6 citations, a metric that outpaces the standard Florida baseline by 65%. Since 22 of those 23 evaluative reviews turned up some type of minor adjustment, the home rarely maintained a historical zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection. Following an early six-citation report in mid-2014 regarding building safety and medication logs, the property maintained a five-year stretch with no new violations.
The data shows a minor rise in citations toward the end of 2024, when a routine visit flagged four training and staffing files, but the community successfully rebounded, with the most recent complaint investigation from March 2025 returning a completely clean record. No financial penalties or severe administrative enforcement actions appear on the provider’s record.
Families weighing senior care options can use these multi-year timelines to evaluate how the administration maintains its everyday operations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Florida
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?
Assisted living in Florida is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Florida Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Florida Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
How many nursing homes are listed on this page?
This page features 258 nursing homes in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right nursing home in Florida?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Florida, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Florida?
