Oasis At The Keys Nursing And Rehab

Oasis At The Keys Nursing And Rehab carries an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each look at something different. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors have found a higher-than-average number of citations or more serious violations during their visits - something families should look into more closely by reviewing the actual inspection reports. The quality measures rating comes in at 2 stars as well, which reflects below-average performance across 15 tracked health outcomes for residents, things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management. On a more encouraging note, the staffing rating is 4 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you typically see at other facilities.

The staffing piece is genuinely meaningful because having adequate staff on hand day-to-day affects nearly every part of a resident's experience. However, the below-average scores in both inspections and quality measures do raise real concerns worth exploring before making a decision. A facility can have decent staffing numbers but still struggle with care consistency or regulatory compliance, and that gap seems present here. Visiting in person, talking to staff and current residents' families, and reading through recent inspection findings would give you a much clearer picture of what daily life actually looks like at this facility.

Staffing at Oasis At The Keys Nursing And Rehab is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, this facility actually comes in above average, providing about 0.80 RN hours per resident each day compared to the state average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have more access to a higher-skilled nurse for things like medication management, wound care, and clinical decisions. However, when you look at total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and other nursing staff, the facility offers 3.33 hours per resident per day, which falls a little short of the Florida average of 3.87 hours. That gap can show up in day-to-day moments like how quickly someone gets help getting dressed, going to the bathroom, or simply being checked on throughout the day. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, but it is worth asking the facility how they typically schedule staff across different shifts, especially overnight and on weekends.

Oasis At The Keys Nursing And Rehab has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth taking seriously. The facility has one government penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $6,857, with the most recent penalty dated April 26, 2024. A single penalty does not necessarily indicate a pattern of problems, but the below-average inspection rating suggests inspectors have found recurring concerns worth looking into. If you are considering this facility, it is a good idea to ask staff directly about what steps have been taken to address past inspection findings. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Tavernier on the Tavernier nursing homes and assisted living page.
