Titusville Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

Titusville Rehabilitation & Nursing Center 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 ratings, and understanding each one gives you a clearer picture of what life might actually look like for your loved one there. The health inspection rating came in at 2 stars, which is below average and reflects the number and seriousness of citations state inspectors found during their visits. That's worth paying attention to, since those inspections look at everything from medication management to resident safety practices. The staffing rating landed at 3 stars, meaning the facility falls in the average range for how many nursing hours residents receive relative to the number of people living there. More staff time generally means more attentive, responsive care on a day-to-day basis.

Where Titusville really stands out is in its quality measures rating, which earned a full 5 stars. That's the highest possible score and is based on 15 clinical indicators of resident health, things like rates of falls, pressure ulcers, hospitalizations, and how well residents maintain their ability to function. In plain terms, the outcomes for residents there look genuinely strong compared to most facilities across the country. So while the inspection history raises some questions worth exploring when you tour, the clinical results suggest staff are doing a solid job of keeping residents healthy and stable. Together, the three ratings average out to that middle-ground overall score, but the quality measures result is an encouraging sign for families considering this facility.

Staffing at Titusville Rehabilitation & Nursing Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other Florida nursing homes. On the registered nurse side, residents here receive about 0.61 RN hours per day, which is actually slightly above the Florida average of 0.52 hours. That means a little more time with a higher-skilled nurse, which can matter when it comes to catching health changes or managing complex conditions. However, when you look at total nurse hours across all staff combined, the facility comes in at 3.39 hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that gap can translate to staff being stretched a bit thinner during a typical shift, which may affect how quickly call lights get answered, how much assistance residents receive with meals or personal care, and the general pace of attention throughout the day. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, so it's worth asking the facility directly about how they schedule staff and how they handle busy periods.

Titusville Rehabilitation & Nursing Center has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth taking seriously as you weigh your options. The facility has one penalty on record, resulting in a fine of $17,369, with the most recent penalty issued in June 2024. A single penalty does not automatically mean a facility is unsafe, but the combination of a low inspection rating and a recent fine suggests this is something families should look into further before making a decision. Asking the facility directly about what led to the penalty and what changes were made in response is a reasonable and fair starting point.
