Flagler Health And Rehabilitation Center

Flagler Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which puts it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and the picture here is pretty mixed. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors have cited the facility for a higher-than-average number of issues or more serious ones - something families should look into by reviewing the actual inspection reports to understand what was flagged. The staffing rating is just 1 star, the lowest possible, which means the facility has significantly fewer nurse hours per resident than most other homes. In practical terms, that can affect how quickly staff respond to residents, how much hands-on care each person receives, and overall day-to-day attentiveness.

The one real bright spot here is the 5-star Quality Measures rating, which is as high as it gets. This score reflects how residents are actually doing across 15 clinical indicators - things like pain management, pressure ulcers, mobility, and medication use. A top score there suggests that despite the staffing concerns, residents' physical health outcomes are tracking well. Still, the combination of low staffing and below-average inspection results means families should visit in person, ask detailed questions about staff turnover and nurse-to-resident ratios, and read through recent inspection findings before making a decision.

Staffing at Flagler Health And Rehabilitation Center runs a bit lower than what you'd typically see across Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 3.22 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, which works out to roughly 40 minutes less hands-on care each day. The registered nurse coverage is also lighter, at 0.33 hours per resident compared to the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, RNs are the most highly trained staff on the floor and handle things like medication decisions, wound care, and catching early warning signs of health changes, so that gap is worth noting. It does not necessarily mean care is inadequate, since certified nursing assistants and other staff make up the rest of those hours, but families should feel comfortable asking the facility directly how they staff different shifts, especially overnight and on weekends when coverage at many facilities tends to be thinner.

Flagler Health And Rehabilitation Center carries a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which tells you that inspectors have found more concerns here than at a typical facility. That said, the facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning that while inspections have raised flags, nothing has risen to the level where regulators felt the need to take formal action. For families, this is a mixed picture worth paying attention to. The low inspection rating is not something to brush off, but the absence of any financial penalties or enforcement actions does offer some reassurance that the most serious violations have not been documented here. It is still a good idea to visit in person, talk to staff, and ask the facility directly about any past inspection findings and what steps they have taken to address them.
