Kissimmee Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Kissimmee Nursing & Rehabilitation 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 when one area pulls low, it can drag down the whole picture even if other areas look better. Here, the health inspection rating is the biggest concern, also coming in at 2 stars. That score reflects findings from state inspections, and a below-average result typically means inspectors cited the facility for a higher number of issues, more serious issues, or both. For families, that's worth paying close attention to, since those inspections look at things like care practices, resident safety, and how well the facility follows proper procedures.

The good news is that staffing earned 4 stars, which is above average. That tells you nurses and aides are spending more time with residents relative to the number of people living there, compared to most facilities. More hands-on time generally means residents get more attentive, responsive care day to day. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, right at average. Those measures track clinical outcomes like how residents are doing physically, including things like falls, pressure sores, and mobility. Average here means the facility is performing in line with most others, not a red flag, but not a standout either. Taken together, the staffing picture is encouraging, but the inspection history is something families should dig into further before making a decision.

Staffing at Kissimmee Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture worth understanding before you make any decisions. On the registered nurse (RN) side, this facility actually stands out in a meaningful way, providing about 1.01 RN hours per resident each day compared to the Florida average of just 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have more access to a higher-level nurse who can assess changing conditions, manage medications, and coordinate care, which can make a real difference when something goes wrong quickly. When you look at total nurse hours, though, which includes RNs alongside licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, the facility comes in at 3.81 hours per resident per day, just slightly below the 3.87 average seen across Florida nursing homes. That small gap is not dramatic, but it does suggest that while the quality of nursing coverage is comparatively strong here, the overall hands-on time residents receive throughout the day is roughly in line with, or modestly below, what you might find elsewhere. For families weighing their options, the higher RN presence is a genuine positive, especially if your loved one has complex medical needs.

Kissimmee Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth taking seriously. The facility has received 2 formal penalties, with total fines adding up to $329,259, and the most recent penalty was issued in June 2023. Fines of that size typically reflect citations that regulators considered significant, not minor paperwork issues, so families should ask the facility directly about what happened and what has changed since then. This doesn't automatically make it the wrong choice for everyone, but it does mean you'll want to go in with specific questions and, if possible, make an unannounced visit to get a feel for the day-to-day environment.
