Delaney Park Health And Rehabilitation Center

Delaney Park Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, meaning it lands around average when stacked up against other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and here it is important to know that those pieces do not all tell the same story.

The health inspection rating is 2 stars, which is below average. This reflects what state inspectors found during their visits, including the number of problems cited and how serious those problems were. Families should take this one seriously, as it suggests inspectors identified more concerns than they do at a typical facility. The staffing rating sits at 3 stars, meaning residents receive a fairly average amount of nursing time relative to how many people live there - not a red flag, but not a standout either. Where Delaney Park really shines is in its quality measures rating, a 5 out of 5. This is based on 15 clinical indicators tracking things like falls, pressure wounds, pain management, and how residents are actually doing health-wise day to day. A perfect score there suggests that despite the inspection concerns, residents are experiencing strong real-world health outcomes. For families, the takeaway is a mixed picture - the clinical care results are genuinely impressive, but the inspection history is worth digging into before making a final decision.

Staffing at Delaney Park Health And Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, this facility actually does better than average, providing about 0.90 RN hours per resident each day compared to the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have more access to a higher-level nurse for things like medication management, wound care, and responding to changes in a resident's condition. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff, including CNAs and LPNs, the facility comes in at 3.42 hours per resident per day, which is a little below the Florida average of 3.87. That gap in total hours can show up in day-to-day moments like how quickly someone gets help getting out of bed, how often staff can sit and assist with meals, or how long a call light stays on before someone responds. Neither number is alarming, but families should feel comfortable asking the facility how they typically staff overnight shifts and on weekends, since those are the times when the difference between adequate and stretched-thin tends to show the most.

Delaney Park Health And Rehabilitation Center has a below-average health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which signals that state inspectors have found more problems here than at a typical Florida nursing home. The facility also has one government penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $57,818, with the most recent penalty issued in March 2023. A single penalty does not automatically mean a facility is unsafe, but the combination of a low inspection rating and a significant fine is worth taking seriously as you weigh your options. It is reasonable to ask the facility directly about what led to that penalty and what steps they have taken to address it.
