3/5
CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
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.
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.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 126th out of 253 homes in Florida for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 42% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 52m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
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 3m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 8m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 32m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
| 0m per day | ▼ 100% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 15m per day | ▼ 55% State avg: 32m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
Rank #176 / 257Payroll — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 176th out of 257 homes in Florida. Shows total annual staff payroll benchmarked to the Florida average.
