Northbrook Center For Rehabilitation And Healing

Northbrook Center For Rehabilitation And Healing holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings, and they tell a bit of a mixed story here. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found more citations, or more serious ones, than you would typically see at an average facility. That is worth paying close attention to, since those inspections look at real on-the-ground conditions like care practices, safety, and how well the facility follows regulations. The staffing rating comes in at 3 stars, which is average, reflecting that the number of nursing hours per resident is in line with what most facilities provide. The quality measures rating is the bright spot, earning 4 stars, which is above average. This is based on clinical outcomes like how residents fare with things like mobility, pain management, and avoiding infections or hospital readmissions.

The challenge for families is that the strong quality measures score is being outweighed by the below-average inspection history, which pulls the overall rating down. In practical terms, that means residents may be seeing decent health outcomes, but the facility has had regulatory issues that are hard to ignore. If you are considering this facility, it would be worth asking the staff directly about recent inspection findings and what steps they have taken to address them.

Staffing at Northbrook Center For Rehabilitation And Healing is fairly close to what you'd see at many Florida nursing homes, though it does fall a bit short of the state average when you look at the full picture. Registered nurses here provide about 0.51 hours of care per resident each day, which is nearly identical to the Florida average of 0.52 hours, so that part is pretty much on par. Where the gap becomes more noticeable is in total nursing hours, which include RNs, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants combined. This facility averages 3.57 total nurse hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that roughly 18-minute difference each day might not sound like much, but across a full shift it can affect how quickly staff respond to call lights, how much time aides have for personal care, and the overall pace and attentiveness of the floor. It is not a dramatic gap, but it is worth keeping in mind if your loved one has higher care needs or requires closer monitoring.

Northbrook Center For Rehabilitation And Healing has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth taking seriously. The facility has one government penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $13,501, with the most recent penalty dated March 27, 2025. A single penalty does not automatically make a facility unsafe, but the combination of a below-average inspection rating and a recent fine suggests families should ask questions during any tour, request to see the most recent inspection report, and pay close attention to staffing levels and overall cleanliness when visiting.
