Kissimmee Health And Rehabilitation Center

Kissimmee Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each look at something different, and in this case they tell a pretty mixed story. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a number of citations during their visits, and the volume or seriousness of those citations was enough to pull the facility below average. That piece carries significant weight in the overall score, which explains why the composite lands low even though the other two areas look much better.

On the brighter side, staffing comes in at 4 stars, meaning residents are getting above-average nurse time relative to the number of people living there. That matters day-to-day because it generally translates to more attentive care and shorter waits when someone needs help. Quality measures also earn 4 stars, which reflects above-average results across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and how well residents maintain their physical function. So while the hands-on care and health outcomes appear solid, the inspection history is a real concern worth digging into. Families considering this facility should ask the administration directly about what those citations involved and what steps have been taken to address them.

Staffing levels at Kissimmee Health and Rehabilitation Center are fairly close to what you'd find at other Florida nursing homes, but there is one number that stands out. The facility provides about 1.04 registered nurse hours per resident each day, which is roughly double the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have more access to a higher-skilled nurse who can assess health changes, manage medications, and coordinate care. Total nurse hours, which include aides and other nursing staff, come in at 3.93 hours per resident per day, just slightly above the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That difference is modest, so overall hands-on care time is pretty typical for the state. For families, the bigger takeaway is that the RN presence here is meaningfully stronger than average, which can matter a lot when a loved one has complex medical needs or when something changes quickly and someone needs to catch it.

Kissimmee Health And Rehabilitation Center has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which tells you inspectors have found more concerns here than at a typical facility. That said, the center has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, meaning issues found during inspections have not risen to the level where regulators felt formal punishment was necessary. For families, this is a mixed picture worth paying attention to. The inspection rating suggests some ongoing care or safety concerns, but the clean penalty record means nothing has been serious enough to trigger official enforcement action. It is worth reviewing the specific inspection findings in detail before making a decision.

4. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies listed and what was done to fix them?
5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who is not participating in a scheduled activity - how do they spend their time, who checks on them, and how often?
6. If my loved one has a complaint or feels uncomfortable about something, what is the process for raising that concern, and who outside of this facility can they contact if they feel the issue is not being resolved?
