What the Ratings Mean
North Campus Rehabilitation And Nursing Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, meaning it falls in the average range compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates. The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects an average number and severity of citations found during state inspections, so no major red flags stand out but no exceptional cleanliness record either. The quality measures rating is the strongest piece at 4 stars, meaning the facility performs above average across 15 tracked health outcomes for residents, things like how well staff manage pain, prevent pressure wounds, or support mobility. That is genuinely encouraging for families focused on day-to-day resident health.
The area worth asking questions about is staffing, which comes in at 2 stars, meaning nurses spend below-average hours with each resident compared to similar facilities. Even in a facility with solid health outcomes, lower staffing levels can mean longer waits for assistance, less one-on-one attention, and greater strain on the staff who are there. It does not automatically signal poor care, but it is worth asking the facility directly about their nurse-to-resident ratios and how they handle nights and weekends. Taken together, the ratings paint a picture of a facility that achieves reasonable health outcomes but may be stretched thin in terms of hands-on staffing.
Staffing at a Glance
North Campus Rehabilitation And Nursing Center provides about 3.59 total nurse hours per resident each day, which falls a bit below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. To put that in practical terms, if your loved one needs help getting up, bathing, eating, or managing medications throughout the day and night, those hours reflect how much hands-on time nursing staff collectively have for each person in the building. Where this facility does stand out is in registered nurse coverage specifically. At 0.59 RN hours per resident per day, it comes in slightly above the Florida average of 0.52, meaning residents here tend to have a bit more access to the higher-level clinical judgment that RNs provide compared to what you'd see at many Florida nursing homes. The overall picture is mixed - slightly less total nursing time than average, but a modest edge in RN presence. Neither number is alarming on its own, but it's worth asking the facility how they staff overnight shifts and on weekends, since those are often the hours when coverage gets thinner.
Inspection & Penalty History
North Campus Rehabilitation And Nursing Center holds a 3 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which puts it right in the middle of the pack. That kind of rating typically reflects a mix of minor or moderate findings during inspections, nothing that stands out as especially alarming, but not a spotless record either. The good news for families is that the facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, which means inspectors have not found issues serious enough to warrant formal financial consequences. Taken together, this is a fairly average inspection profile with a clean penalty history, a reasonable starting point but worth looking into further as you do your research.

Questions to Ask When You Visit
- How many residents does each certified nursing assistant 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 when you're short-staffed on a given day?
- Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night?
- How do you handle a resident who starts to show signs of depression, withdrawal, or a noticeable change in personality?
- If my family member has a complaint or feels they're being ignored, what is the actual process for getting that resolved, and who is accountable for following up?
- What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident here, from the time they wake up to the time they go to sleep?
