Oakpark Health And Rehabilitation Center

Oakpark Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it at about average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall number is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case those pieces tell pretty different stories. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors have cited this facility more than average, either in the number of issues found or their seriousness. That's worth paying attention to, since inspections are one of the more direct ways regulators check whether a facility is actually following safe care practices. The staffing rating is also 2 stars, which means nurses and aides are spending fewer hours with residents than you'd see at a typical facility. For families, that can translate to longer wait times for assistance and staff who are stretched thin across more residents.

Where Oakpark really stands out is in its quality measures rating, a perfect 5 stars. This score looks at 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are developing pressure sores, losing mobility, or experiencing falls, and a 5 means the facility is performing much better than average on those health results. It's an encouraging sign that residents are seeing strong care outcomes in practice. The tension here is that the facility is delivering those results despite below-average staffing, which some families may find reassuring and others may still find concerning. Going in for a visit and asking staff directly about daily routines and response times is a smart next step.

Staffing at Oakpark Health And Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture. On the registered nurse (RN) side, residents here receive about 0.59 hours of RN time per day, which is slightly above the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That small difference can matter when it comes to handling more complex medical needs, since RNs carry a higher level of clinical training. However, when you look at total nurse hours, which includes aides and licensed practical nurses, the facility comes in at 3.26 hours per resident per day, noticeably below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that gap means staff members may be responsible for more residents at once during routine daily care like bathing, meals, and mobility assistance. For families comparing Florida nursing homes, it is worth keeping both numbers in mind, since total nurse hours often reflect the hands-on, day-to-day attention your loved one will receive most consistently.

Oakpark Health And Rehabilitation Center carries a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth paying attention to as you evaluate this facility. That said, the government has never issued a formal penalty against this facility, and there are no fines on record. The lower inspection rating likely reflects concerns found during routine surveys, such as care practice issues or documentation problems, but those concerns have not risen to the level of official enforcement action. Families should still ask the facility directly about any past inspection findings and what steps they have taken to address them.
