Miami Shores Nursing And Rehab Center

Miami Shores Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which places it in the average range nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, two of those three are actually above average, while one brings the total down to the middle.

The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, meaning the facility received an average number of citations during state inspections, with no standout concerns but also no particularly clean record. Staffing earns 4 stars, which is a good sign for families - it means residents are getting more nurse time relative to the number of people living there than you would find at most facilities. The quality measures rating also hits 4 stars, reflecting above-average outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks like how residents are managing pain, avoiding falls, or maintaining their physical health over time. So while the inspection history keeps the overall score at average, the day-to-day care and actual resident outcomes tell a more encouraging story.

Miami Shores Nursing And Rehab Center stands out when it comes to staffing, particularly with registered nurses on the floor. Residents here receive about 1.22 hours of RN care per day, which is more than double the Florida average of 0.52 hours across Florida nursing homes. In practical terms, that means a more experienced nurse is more likely to be the one checking on your loved one, catching changes in condition early, or coordinating care rather than delegating everything to aides. Total nurse hours per resident come in at 4.03 compared to the state average of 3.87, so the overall hands-on care time is slightly above average as well. For families weighing their options, the RN figure is the one worth paying attention to, since registered nurses bring a higher level of clinical judgment to daily care.

Miami Shores Nursing And Rehab Center holds a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5 stars for health inspections, which means inspectors have found some areas that needed attention over the years, though nothing that rose to the level of a formal government penalty. That last part is worth noting: this facility has zero penalties on record and has never been fined by regulators. For families, that combination suggests a facility that has had its share of routine inspection findings but has not crossed into serious violation territory. It is a reasonably clean record, and families should feel comfortable digging into the specific inspection reports to see what minor issues came up and whether the facility addressed them promptly.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your nursing staff and CNAs been working here on average, and what is your turnover rate over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a fall or a medical concern overnight, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff become aware of it to when the family gets notified.
4. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what you did to fix them?
5. What does a typical day look like for a resident who does not have many scheduled therapies, and how do staff make sure that person stays engaged and comfortable?
6. If my loved one's condition changes and we feel the care plan needs to be updated, how do we make that happen and how quickly can we expect a response?
