Timberridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Timberridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it falls in the average range compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different, so it helps to look at them individually to get a clearer picture of what life there might actually look like for your loved one.

The weakest area is Health Inspections, where Timberridge earned 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found more citations, or more serious ones, than you would typically see at a comparable facility. That is worth paying attention to, since inspections flag things like care practices, safety conditions, and regulatory compliance. On the staffing side, the facility sits at 3 stars, which means residents receive a fairly typical amount of nursing time relative to the number of people living there, not exceptional, but not a red flag either. The real bright spot is Quality Measures, where Timberridge earned a perfect 5 stars. That rating tracks 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are developing pressure sores, experiencing falls, losing mobility, or declining in other measurable ways, and a top score here suggests that residents' physical health outcomes are genuinely strong. So while the inspection history gives reason to ask questions, the day-to-day clinical results appear to be a significant strength of this facility.

Staffing at Timberridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here receive about 0.64 RN hours per day, which is actually higher than the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That means, in practical terms, a more experienced nurse is slightly more present in your loved one's day for things like assessments, medication management, and responding to changes in health. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff types combined, Timberridge comes in at 3.72 hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That gap suggests that while RN coverage is a relative strength here, the overall hands-on care time from the full nursing team is a little below what you might find elsewhere. For families, that could translate to things like how quickly a call light gets answered or how much time staff have for bathing, feeding assistance, and daily comfort care. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it is worth asking the facility directly how they structure their shifts and how they handle staffing on nights and weekends.

Timberridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which suggests inspectors have found more issues here than at a typical facility. The center has one government penalty on record, and it carries significant weight: a fine of $119,636 assessed in January 2024. A penalty that size usually reflects a serious deficiency rather than a minor paperwork issue, so it is worth asking the facility directly what happened and what changes were made in response. That said, one penalty does not tell the whole story of daily care, and families should weigh this alongside staffing data, recent inspection reports, and their own visits before making a decision.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing aide typically care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing aides and charge nurses been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a concern or a bad day, who specifically should they talk to, and how quickly can I expect a call back if I reach out?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical weekday looks like for a resident, from the time they wake up to when they go to bed?
5. What is your process when a resident falls, has a medication error, or experiences any kind of incident, and how do you notify the family?
6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the past two state inspections, and can I see a copy of the most recent survey report?
