Deerfield Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center

Deerfield Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which places it in the average range compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, two of those pieces are genuinely strong. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning the facility provides above-average nurse hours relative to the number of residents, which is a good sign that staff have more time to spend with each person in their care. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, reflecting above-average performance across 15 clinical indicators that track things like fall rates, pressure wounds, pain management, and other real health outcomes for residents.

Where the facility lands at average is in health inspections, which also earned 3 stars. That score reflects the number and severity of citations found during state inspections, so it tells you that while there are no serious red flags, inspectors have noted some issues worth being aware of. Because health inspections carry significant weight in how CMS calculates the overall rating, that 3-star inspection score pulls the composite down despite the stronger staffing and quality numbers. For families, the takeaway is that this facility shows real strengths in day-to-day care and clinical outcomes, but it would be worth reviewing the detailed inspection reports on the CMS Care Compare website to understand exactly what was cited before making a final decision.

Staffing at Deerfield Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture. On the registered nurse (RN) side, residents here receive about 0.82 hours of RN care per day, which is actually higher than the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That means more time with a higher-skilled nurse for things like assessments, medication management, and catching early warning signs. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff, including aides and licensed practical nurses, the facility comes in at 3.32 hours per resident per day, which falls short of the 3.87-hour average seen across Florida senior care facilities. In practical terms, that gap in total hours can affect how quickly someone gets help with everyday needs like repositioning, meals, or getting to the bathroom. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, but families should consider both when thinking about the level of hands-on attention their loved one would receive day to day.

Deerfield Beach Health And Rehabilitation Center has a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which suggests the facility meets basic standards but has room for improvement. There is one government penalty on record, with a fine of $36,089 issued in November 2023. A single penalty of that size is worth noting, and families should ask the facility directly about what led to it and what changes were made as a result. It is not an alarming pattern of repeated violations, but it is recent enough that it deserves a conversation before making any decisions.
