Solaris Healthcare Imperial

Solaris Healthcare Imperial holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it at roughly average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That middle-ground score comes from a mix of highs and lows across three separate areas. The staffing rating is a strong 4 out of 5, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd see at most facilities - that's a meaningful day-to-day plus for hands-on care. Even more impressive is the 5-star quality measures rating, the highest possible, which reflects how residents are actually faring physically and clinically across 15 health indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and mobility. In practical terms, that suggests residents tend to be well-monitored and cared for in ways that show up in real health outcomes.

Where the facility takes a hit is on health inspections, which earned just 2 out of 5 stars. That rating reflects findings from state surveys, meaning inspectors found a higher number or more serious violations than average during their visits. Because CMS weights health inspections heavily in the overall calculation, those findings pull the composite score down to 3 stars despite the facility's otherwise strong performance. For families, this is worth looking into further - it doesn't necessarily mean ongoing problems, but you'd want to ask the facility directly about what was cited and what steps were taken to address it.

Staffing at Solaris Healthcare Imperial is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here receive about 0.67 RN hours per day, which is actually higher than the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means a bit more time with a higher-skilled nurse who can assess changes in condition and make clinical decisions. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff, the facility comes in at 3.61 hours per resident per day, which falls slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That gap might not sound like much on paper, but spread across a full day, it can translate to slightly less hands-on help with things like bathing, dressing, repositioning, or just checking in. Neither number is alarming, but families whose loved ones need more intensive daily assistance may want to ask the facility directly about staffing during evenings and weekends, when coverage at many facilities tends to be thinner.

Solaris Healthcare Imperial has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth taking seriously. There is one penalty on record, with a fine of $29,738, and it was issued as recently as November 2024. A single penalty does not necessarily mean ongoing problems, but the combination of a below-average inspection rating and a recent fine suggests families should ask detailed questions when touring the facility, request information about what led to the penalty, and find out what steps staff have taken to address any issues. It is not a reason to automatically rule the facility out, but it is a reason to look closely.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends?
2. What percentage of your nursing staff are regular employees here, and how often do you bring in agency or temporary nurses to fill shifts?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens in the first 24 hours after a resident has a fall, including who gets notified and when?
4. If my loved one has a concern or feels uncomfortable with something, who do they talk to, and how do you make sure that person actually follows up?
5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who does not have many visitors, from the time they wake up to when they go to bed?
6. Can you show me your most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what you changed because of them?
