Solaris Healthcare Parkway

Solaris Healthcare Parkway holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it in the average range compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each looking at something different. The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects the findings from state inspectors who visit the facility and note any problems they find. A 3 here means the number and seriousness of those citations is about what you would expect from a typical nursing home, nothing alarming but not a standout record either. The staffing rating is the strongest piece of the picture at 4 stars, meaning nurses are spending more time with residents than you would see at an average facility. That is a meaningful detail for families, since more staff time generally means faster responses, closer attention, and better day-to-day care. The quality measures rating comes in at 3 stars, which is based on 15 clinical indicators like how often residents develop pressure wounds, experience falls, or need to be hospitalized. Again, average across the board.

When you put the three pieces together, Solaris Healthcare Parkway looks like a middle-of-the-road facility with one genuine bright spot in staffing. Families should take some comfort in the above-average staffing number, while keeping in mind that the health and clinical outcomes scores still leave room for improvement. A 3-star overall rating is not a red flag, but it is a reminder to ask questions, take a tour, and look closely at what matters most for your loved one's specific needs.

Staffing at Solaris Healthcare Parkway is a bit of a mixed picture. On the registered nurse side, residents here get about 0.60 RN hours per day, which is actually slightly above the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That means a little more time with the most highly trained nurses compared to many Florida senior care facilities. However, when you look at total nurse hours across all staff combined, the facility comes in at 3.64 hours per resident per day, which falls a bit short of the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that gap can show up in small but meaningful ways during a typical day, like how quickly a call light gets answered, how much hands-on help someone gets with meals or mobility, or how attentive staff can be during busy shift changes. Neither number is alarming, but families should know the trade-off: slightly stronger RN presence, with somewhat less overall nursing coverage compared to the state norm.

Solaris Healthcare Parkway 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 $9,318 issued in March 2023. A single penalty does not automatically signal a troubled facility, but it is worth asking the staff directly what happened and what changes were made as a result. Families should treat this as a starting point for their research rather than a dealbreaker or a clean bill of health. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Stuart on the Stuart nursing homes and assisted living page.

4. Can you walk me through what a typical weekday looks like for a resident who needs help with meals, bathing, and getting around?
5. How does the facility handle a situation where a resident's condition changes overnight, and how quickly does a family member get notified?
6. What were the findings from your most recent state inspection, and what steps did you take to address any cited deficiencies?
