Apopka Health And Rehabilitation Center

Apopka Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it falls in the average range compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one. The health inspection rating is also 3 stars, meaning state inspectors found a typical number and severity of citations during their visits, nothing unusually alarming but not a clean record either. The staffing rating comes in at 3 stars as well, which tells you that nurses are spending an average amount of time with each resident relative to the facility's size, not stretched unusually thin but not exceptionally attentive either.

Where the facility stands out a bit is in its quality measures rating, which earned 4 stars, putting it above average. This score is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like rates of falls, pressure wounds, infections, and how well residents maintain their mobility and daily functioning. A 4 here is a meaningful positive sign, suggesting that residents are generally experiencing better-than-average health outcomes in day-to-day care. For families weighing their options, this facility looks pretty typical on staffing and inspection history, but the stronger quality measures score is worth noting as an indicator of how residents actually fare once they're living there.

Staffing at Apopka Health And Rehabilitation Center is a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here receive about 0.66 hours of RN time per day, which is actually better than the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a slightly higher chance of having a more experienced nurse available when a resident needs assessment or has a health concern. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff, the facility comes in at 3.77 hours per resident per day, just a touch below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. The difference is small, but it can show up in everyday moments like how quickly a call light gets answered or how much hands-on help a resident gets with meals and mobility. Neither number is alarming, but families should keep in mind that staffing levels can vary by shift and day, so it is always worth asking the facility directly about overnight and weekend coverage.

Apopka Health and Rehabilitation Center holds a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5 stars for health inspections, which means inspectors have found some concerns worth noting over time, though nothing that has risen to the level of a government penalty. The facility has zero penalties on record and has never been fined, which is a genuine positive and worth factoring into your decision. A 3-star inspection rating suggests this is not a facility with a spotless record, so it is still a good idea to review the specific inspection findings in detail and ask questions during your visit. Overall, the penalty history here is clean, and that does count for something. You can compare this facility's record against others in Apopka on the Apopka nursing homes and assisted living page.
