Siesta Key Health And Rehabilitation Center

Siesta Key Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which places it in the average range compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, two of those three areas actually stand out as strengths. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning residents here receive above-average nursing hours relative to the number of people being cared for, which is a meaningful indicator of how much hands-on attention staff can realistically provide. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, reflecting above-average performance across 15 clinical benchmarks that track real resident health outcomes, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, or maintains residents' physical functioning.

Where the facility lands at average is in health inspections, which also carries a 3-star rating. That score reflects the number and seriousness of citations state inspectors have issued during their on-site visits, and a 3 here means the facility's inspection record is on par with the typical nursing home, not a red flag, but not a standout either. Because health inspections tend to carry significant weight in how CMS calculates the overall score, the average inspection result pulls the composite down to 3 stars even though staffing and clinical outcomes are both above average. For families, that context matters. The day-to-day care environment and resident health outcomes appear stronger than the overall number might first suggest.

Staffing at Siesta Key Health And Rehabilitation Center runs a bit below what you'd typically see across Florida nursing homes. Residents here receive about 3.52 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, and registered nurse coverage comes in at 0.47 hours per resident daily versus the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, that gap might not sound like much on paper, but spread across a full day it can mean nurses and aides are stretched a little thinner, with slightly less one-on-one time available for each resident. It does not necessarily mean care is inadequate, but if your loved one has complex medical needs or requires close monitoring, it is worth asking the facility how they manage staffing during nights, weekends, and busy periods before making a decision.

Siesta Key Health And Rehabilitation Center has received two government penalties, with total fines adding up to $317,977, and the most recent penalty was issued in August 2023. That is a significant dollar amount, and the fact that a penalty occurred recently is worth paying attention to. The facility's health inspection rating sits at 3 out of 5 stars, which is middle-of-the-road. None of this means the facility is necessarily the wrong choice, but families should go in with eyes open, ask the facility directly about what led to those penalties, and find out what steps were taken to address the problems.
