Martin Coast Center For Rehabilitation And Healthc

Martin Coast Center For Rehabilitation And Healthcare earns an overall 3-star rating, which means it lands right at average when compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That middle-of-the-road score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell a different part of the story. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, which is above average and suggests that residents here tend to get more hands-on time with nurses than you'd find at many other facilities. The quality measures rating is an impressive 5 stars, the highest possible, meaning the facility performs very well across 15 tracked health outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and hospital readmissions. That's a meaningful sign that residents are receiving solid day-to-day clinical care. Where the facility pulls down its overall score is the health inspection rating, which sits at 2 stars, or below average. That score reflects the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections, so it's worth asking the facility directly about what those citations involved and what steps they've taken to address them.

The way these three pieces fit together into an overall rating means that the strong clinical outcomes and staffing numbers are being offset by the inspection history. For families, the practical takeaway is encouraging in some ways - the care quality data and nurse availability are genuinely strong - but the inspection concerns are worth a closer look before making a decision. Asking to see recent inspection reports, which are public record, is a reasonable next step.

At Martin Coast Center For Rehabilitation And Healthcare, residents receive about 0.83 hours of registered nurse time per day, which is actually higher than what most Florida nursing homes provide at 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a more experienced nurse is more likely to be on hand when something comes up, whether that's a medication concern or a change in a resident's condition. When you look at total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and other nursing staff, the facility comes in at 3.84 hours per resident per day, nearly identical to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. So on a typical day, the overall hands-on care time is pretty much in line with what you'd find elsewhere in the state, but the facility does stand out for having more registered nurse involvement specifically, which can matter when residents have more complex medical needs.

Martin Coast Center for Rehabilitation and Health carries a 2 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth paying attention to as you weigh your options. That said, the facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning inspectors have not found violations serious enough to trigger formal financial consequences. The lower inspection rating likely reflects cited deficiencies from routine surveys, so it would be worth requesting specifics on what those inspections flagged and how the facility responded. The picture here is mixed but not alarming - no penalties is a positive sign, though the inspection rating suggests families should ask questions and visit in person before making a decision.
