Woodbridge Care Center And Rehab

Woodbridge Care Center And Rehab holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it in the average range nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate sub-ratings, and in this case those pieces tell a pretty uneven story worth understanding before you make a decision.

The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd see at most facilities, which is a meaningful plus for day-to-day care and responsiveness. The quality measures rating is a full 5 stars, the highest possible, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical markers like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, and maintains residents' physical function. That's genuinely encouraging. The area that pulls the overall rating down is health inspections, which earned just 2 stars. That score comes from state inspection visits and reflects a higher number or more serious citations than most facilities receive. It doesn't necessarily mean the facility is unsafe, but it does mean regulators flagged concerns that families should ask about directly, such as what the citations were for and what steps have been taken to address them.

Staffing at Woodbridge Care Center And Rehab is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here get about 1.04 hours of RN time per day, which is actually double the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That's a meaningful difference in practice, since RNs handle more complex medical needs, medication oversight, and care decisions. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff levels, including certified nursing assistants who handle much of the hands-on daily care, the facility comes in at 3.56 hours per resident per day, which is slightly below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In plain terms, your loved one may benefit from more attentive registered nurse oversight here than at many other facilities, but the overall time that any nursing staff member spends with each resident each day is modestly lower than what you might find elsewhere. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it's worth asking the facility how they schedule staff across different shifts.

Woodbridge Care Center And Rehab has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth taking seriously. The facility has received 2 official penalties, with total fines of $4,938, and the most recent penalty was issued in October 2023. Fines at this level are not enormous, but two penalties combined with a below-average inspection rating suggests this facility has had real compliance issues that regulators felt warranted formal action. Families should ask the facility directly about what led to those penalties and what changes have been made since. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Tampa on the Tampa nursing homes and assisted living page.

1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one had a fall or a sudden change in condition, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact me first.
4. Can residents choose when they wake up, when they eat, and how they spend their afternoon, or does everyone follow the same daily schedule?
5. How do you handle a resident who is in pain or showing signs of distress but cannot clearly communicate what they need?
6. What does your most recent state inspection report say, and can I see a copy before I leave today?
