Pompano Health And Rehabilitation Center

Pompano Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell you something different about the facility. The health inspection rating, also 2 stars, is the most heavily weighted piece, and it reflects that state inspectors found a concerning number or severity of citations during their visits. That's worth paying close attention to, since inspections look at real, on-the-ground conditions like safety practices, resident care, and how well the facility follows regulations. On a more encouraging note, the staffing rating comes in at 3 stars, meaning residents are getting a fairly average level of nurse time relative to the number of people living there, which is a meaningful day-to-day factor. The quality measures rating is also 3 stars, suggesting that clinical outcomes like residents' physical health, wound care, and mobility are in line with the national average.

The practical takeaway here is that the facility shows some middle-of-the-road performance in staffing and clinical outcomes, but the below-average inspection record pulls the overall score down significantly. For families considering this facility, it would be worth requesting more detail on those inspection findings and asking the facility directly about any steps they've taken to address past citations. A site visit and candid conversations with staff can help fill in the picture beyond what the numbers alone can show.

Staffing at Pompano Health And Rehabilitation Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here receive about 0.56 RN hours per day, which is slightly above the Florida average of 0.52, meaning there is a marginally better chance that a licensed RN is available when your loved one needs one. However, when you look at the total nursing hours across all staff types, the facility comes in at 3.46 hours per resident per day, which falls short of the Florida average of 3.87. In practical terms, that gap can show up in small but meaningful ways during a typical day - things like how quickly a call light gets answered, how much time aides have to assist with meals or personal care, or whether staff seem stretched thin during busy morning routines. Neither number is alarming on its own, but the lower overall staffing hours are worth keeping in mind as you weigh your options.

Pompano Health And Rehabilitation Center has a 2 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth paying attention to. The facility has one penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $4,963, with the most recent penalty dated May 2023. A single penalty of this size is not unusual in the industry, but the below-average inspection rating does suggest that regulators have found more concerns here than at higher-rated facilities. Families should read through the specific inspection findings on Medicare's Care Compare tool to understand what those concerns were before making a decision.
