Fouraker Hills Rehab And Nursing Center

Fouraker Hills Rehab And Nursing Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and they tell a pretty mixed story here. The health inspection rating lands at 3 stars, meaning state inspectors found a number of problems that fell roughly in line with what you'd see at a typical facility - not alarming, but not a clean record either. The quality measures rating is actually a bright spot at 4 stars, meaning the clinical outcomes for residents - things like wound care, pain management, fall injuries, and other health indicators - tend to be better than most facilities. That's meaningful because it reflects what's actually happening with residents' physical health day to day.

The piece that drags the overall rating down is staffing, which sits at just 1 star - the lowest possible score. This means nurses and aides are spending significantly fewer hours with each resident compared to the national average. For families, that's a real practical concern. Less staffing can mean slower response times, less individualized attention, and more strain on the staff that is there. The overall 2-star rating reflects that tension: the clinical outcomes are encouraging, but the low staffing level is a significant red flag worth asking the facility directly about before making any decisions.

Staffing levels at Fouraker Hills Rehab And Nursing Center fall below what you'd typically see at other Florida nursing homes, and that's worth understanding in practical terms. Residents here receive about 3.28 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours, which works out to roughly 36 fewer minutes of nursing attention each day. The bigger gap shows up with registered nurses specifically. RNs at this facility provide around 0.32 hours per resident daily, compared to the state average of 0.52 hours. In real terms, that means less time each day with the most highly trained nurses on staff, the ones who handle complex medical decisions, catch early warning signs, and coordinate care plans. None of this tells you everything about a facility's quality, since staff experience, management, and culture all play a role too, but it does give you a concrete starting point when comparing your options.

Fouraker Hills Rehab And Nursing Center holds a middle-of-the-road three-star health inspection rating, which means state inspectors have found some concerns over time but nothing that puts it in the bottom tier of facilities. That said, the facility has no government penalties on record and has paid no fines, which is genuinely a good sign. A penalty-free history suggests that whatever issues inspectors flagged were addressed without escalating to the point where regulators felt the need to take formal action. For families, this record is neither a red flag nor a reason to skip your due diligence - a three-star rating is worth asking about during a tour, but the clean penalty history at least tells you the facility hasn't been cited for the kind of serious, repeated violations that lead to fines.
