Heritage Healthcare Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Tallahassee-based Heritage Healthcare Center operates as a 180-bed skilled nursing facility under private ownership by Ginger Parent LLC. The community is Medicare and Medicaid certified. Its 2-star CMS rating reflects performance across three domains: health inspections rate 28.9% below Florida standards, staffing 11.3% below, and quality measures 1.4% below the state benchmark.
Federal enforcement has been light; a single $4,000 fine marks the facility’s entire penalty history, substantially below Florida’s average of $72,000 across the state.
Daily nursing coverage averages 3 hours 57 minutes per resident, slightly under Florida’s 4-hour baseline. The facility maintains a core team of 11 registered nurses, 27 licensed practical nurses, and 100 certified nursing aides with no contract labor. A tighter-than-average staff-to-resident ratio of 1.15:1 stands 22% below the state mean of 1.47:1.
Payroll consumes 29.5% of revenue, a notably low figure compared to the 49–56% typical of well-resourced Florida homes, suggesting staffing constraints or cost pressures affecting operational capacity.
Long-stay residents report favorable mental health and preventive outcomes: depression affects just 1.4% of residents versus 3.3% statewide, weight loss occurs at 3.1% versus 6.0%, and urinary tract infection rates run 0.6% against 0.9% statewide. Falls causing major injury, however, affect 3.0% of residents, modestly above the 2.6% state average. Vaccine administration gaps appear particularly in short-stay populations: pneumococcal vaccination reaches only 66.2% against a state standard of 94%, and influenza vaccination 63.8% against 94.7%, signaling potential care-coordination or monitoring gaps.
The facility operates an on-site dialysis program and provides 24-hour nursing with supportive social programming and activities.
Its Leon County location earns a Walk Score of 98, positioning it in a highly walkable neighborhood.
The payer mix reflects Heritage Healthcare Center’s mixed-acuity care: 76.6% of current residents are Medicaid-funded long-stay patients, while new admissions lean 70% private-pay and predominantly short-term.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
