Shore Acres Care Center And Rehab

Shore Acres Care Center And Rehab holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which places it in the average range when compared to other nursing homes nationwide. The overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at a different piece of how a facility operates, so it gives families a more complete picture than a single number alone.

The one piece with a clear score here is the Health Inspection rating, also sitting at 3 stars. This comes from state inspectors who visit the facility and document any problems they find, ranging from minor paperwork issues to more serious concerns about resident care or safety. A 3 here means the facility's inspection history is roughly in line with what you'd expect from a typical nursing home, not a red flag, but not a standout either. The Staffing and Quality Measures ratings are listed as not available, which means CMS didn't have enough data to calculate those scores at the time of this rating. Staffing tells you how much hands-on nursing time residents receive each day, and Quality Measures tracks things like falls, pressure sores, and other health outcomes - so those are important gaps to keep in mind. If you're seriously considering this facility, it's worth asking the staff directly about nurse-to-resident ratios and how they track resident health outcomes, since the ratings alone can't fill in that picture for you right now.

Shore Acres Care Center And Rehab has not reported staffing data for the most recent period, which means there is no current information available to compare against the state benchmarks. For context, Florida nursing homes average about 0.52 registered nurse hours per resident each day and 3.87 total nurse hours per resident per day, which translates to roughly one RN splitting time across many residents throughout a shift, with other nursing staff making up the rest of the care. Without reported numbers from Shore Acres, families simply cannot know how this facility stacks up, and that gap in transparency is worth asking about directly when you visit or call. It is a reasonable question to raise with the admissions team before making any decisions.

Shore Acres Care Center And Rehab holds a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5 stars for health inspections, which means inspectors have found some concerns worth noting but nothing that puts it at the low end of the scale. The encouraging part is that the facility has no government penalties on record and has never been fined, which tells you that whatever issues came up during inspections did not rise to the level where regulators felt the need to take formal action. That is a reasonable sign, though families should still read through the actual inspection reports to understand what surveyors observed during their visits.
