What the Ratings Mean
Capri Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is CMS's way of combining three separate pieces into one picture, though the pieces here tell a pretty uneven story. The health inspection rating sits at just 1 star, meaning state inspectors found a notably higher number of citations, or more serious ones, than you'd see at a typical facility. Staffing also comes in at 1 star, which tells you that nurses are spending less time with each resident than the average nursing home provides - something that can directly affect how quickly needs get noticed and addressed day to day.
The bright spot is the quality measures rating, which is a perfect 5 stars. This score looks at 15 clinical outcomes - things like whether residents are developing pressure sores, losing too much weight, or experiencing falls - and on those measures, Capri actually performs much better than most facilities. That's genuinely meaningful and worth noting. Still, for families weighing a decision, the low staffing and inspection scores are hard to set aside. Good clinical outcomes are encouraging, but they're easier to sustain over time when a facility is adequately staffed and consistently meeting regulatory standards. It's worth asking the facility directly about recent inspection findings and how they've addressed them.
Staffing at a Glance
Staffing at Capri Health and Rehabilitation Center is right at the Florida average when it comes to registered nurses, with both sitting at 0.52 RN hours per resident per day. That works out to roughly 30 minutes of RN time for each resident over a full day, which is fairly typical when you look at Florida nursing homes across the board. Where things dip slightly is in total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and other nursing staff. Capri comes in at 3.54 total hours per resident per day, compared to the state average of 3.87. That gap of about 20 minutes per resident may not sound like much on paper, but spread across a full day it can affect how quickly staff respond to call lights, how much time aides have for hands-on personal care, or how smoothly mealtimes and bathing routines go. It is not a dramatic shortfall, but it is worth asking the facility how they manage workload and whether staffing levels vary between day and night shifts.
Inspection & Penalty History
Capri Health and Rehabilitation Center has a 1-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is the lowest possible score and a signal worth taking seriously. The facility has received two federal penalties, with fines totaling $296,884, and the most recent penalty was issued in February 2024, meaning this is not an old or resolved history - it is recent. For families, this combination of a low inspection rating and significant, up-to-date financial penalties suggests a pattern that warrants careful attention before making a decision. It does not mean care is impossible to find here, but it does mean families should ask detailed questions, request recent inspection reports, and consider visiting in person before committing.

Questions to Ask When You Visit
- How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
- How long have your nurses and aides been working here on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
- If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency overnight, walk me through exactly what happens and who responds first?
- Can I visit any time of day without calling ahead, and are there any restrictions on when family members can come and go?
- How do you handle a resident who refuses a meal, misses an activity, or seems withdrawn, and who specifically follows up with the family when that happens?
- Has this facility received any state or federal citations in the past two years, and can you show me the most recent inspection report?
