Indian River Center, a 179-bed nursing facility operated by Cazzie King, is located at 7201 Greenboro Dr in Melbourne, Brevard County, Florida. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents, with most stays running approximately 88 days and a service model balancing short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care.
The facility received a 1-star overall CMS rating, with health inspection, staffing, and quality measures each rated at 1 star. Health inspection findings place it 64.4 percent below Florida averages. Between 2024 and 2025, a single $74,000 federal penalty was imposed in March 2025, aligning with state-average enforcement dollars. No payment denials or otherwise serious federal actions suspending new admissions appear in the recent record.
Nursing hours total 3 hours 44 minutes per resident per day, running 8 percent below Florida’s 4 hours 2 minutes benchmark and placing the facility 174th among 252 state facilities. The staff-to-resident ratio of 1.39:1 stands only 6 percent worse than the state average. Notably, 234 of 235 staff are permanent employees rather than contractors.
Long-stay residents experience hospitalizations at 1.03 per 1,000 days; substantially better than Florida’s 2.10 average. Yet unintended weight loss appears in 12.4 percent of this population, more than twice the state rate of 6.0 percent. Emergency department visits occur at elevated rates: 2.72 per 1,000 resident days for long-stay populations and 15.9 percent for short-stay, both outpacing state comparisons by wide margins. Short-stay residents show particular difficulty returning home successfully, with only 34.6 percent achieving independent discharge versus a 50.6 percent state average.
The facility maintains occupancy at 92.3 percent, nearly 10 percent above the Florida average, reflecting strong local demand.
Net income of $6.6 million on $19.2 million in revenue indicates a financially stable operation, with payroll consuming 51.1 percent of revenue.
The gap between Indian River’s operational strength and its low regulatory rating warrants careful examination of the underlying inspection concerns before placement, particularly for residents with mobility or nutritional vulnerabilities.
