What the Ratings Mean
Grove Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center And Reh holds an overall 2-star rating, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, those three pieces tell very different stories about the facility.
The health inspection rating is 1 star, the lowest possible, which means state inspectors found a higher number of problems, more serious ones, or both, compared to most facilities. This is the area families should pay the closest attention to, since it reflects real, on-the-ground findings from people who walked through the building and reviewed care practices. The staffing rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average when it comes to how many nursing hours residents receive relative to the number of people living there - not a standout, but not a red flag either. The quality measures rating is a bright spot at 5 stars, meaning the facility performs much better than average across 15 clinical health outcomes, things like how residents are managing pain, whether they're experiencing falls, or how their physical functioning is holding up. That gap between a strong quality score and a poor inspection score is worth exploring with the facility directly - it suggests outcomes may be solid day to day, but there are compliance or care practice concerns that state inspectors flagged and that families should ask about before making a decision.
Staffing at a Glance
Grove Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center spends about 3.69 total nurse hours per resident each day, which is slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That difference might not sound like much, but spread across a full day, it can mean a little less time for things like repositioning residents, responding to call lights, or just checking in. The registered nurse coverage is also lower here, at 0.38 hours per resident per day compared to the Florida average of 0.52, which means residents may have less access to the higher-level clinical oversight that RNs specifically provide. Compared to other Florida nursing homes, this facility lands on the lower end for both measures, so if hands-on nursing attention is a priority for your family member, it is worth asking the facility directly about how they staff during nights and weekends, when coverage tends to be thinner across the board.
Inspection & Penalty History
Grove Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center has a 1-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which is the lowest possible score and signals a pattern of concerns that state and federal inspectors have found significant enough to act on. The facility has received one government penalty, but it carries a hefty fine of $167,954, and the most recent penalty was issued as recently as May 2025, meaning this is not just old history. A fine of that size typically reflects a serious violation, not a minor paperwork issue, and the low inspection rating suggests this was not an isolated incident. Families should go into any conversations with this facility prepared to ask pointed questions about what went wrong, what changed, and how care has improved.

Questions to Ask When You Visit
- How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
- How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep turnover low?
- If my loved one has a concern or a bad day, who specifically should they go to, and how quickly can we expect someone to follow up with our family?
- Can you walk me through what happened the last time a resident had a fall, and what changed afterward to prevent it from happening again?
- What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who is mobile and wants to stay socially active, and what options exist for someone who prefers to stay in their room?
- Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the past two years, and if so, what did you change to address them?
