Winter Park Care And Rehabilitation

Winter Park Care And Rehabilitation holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and the picture here is a mixed one. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors have cited this facility more frequently or more seriously than what you would see at a typical nursing home. The staffing rating is also 2 stars, which reflects that nurses are spending less time per resident each day than the national average - something families should think about carefully, since staffing levels directly affect how quickly a loved one gets help and how attentive their daily care tends to be.

The bright spot is the quality measures rating, which earns 4 stars. This score looks at 15 real clinical outcomes for residents, things like falls, pressure ulcers, pain management, and mobility, and on those measures the facility performs above average. That gap between the quality outcomes score and the lower inspection and staffing scores is worth paying attention to. It suggests that despite thinner staffing and some inspection concerns, residents may still be experiencing reasonably good health outcomes day to day. Even so, the overall 2-star rating signals that families should ask direct questions during a visit, review any recent inspection reports, and weigh the full picture carefully before making a decision.

Staffing information for Winter Park Care And Rehabilitation is not available for the most recent reporting period, which makes it difficult to get a clear picture of what daily care looks like for residents there. Without these numbers, families cannot compare this facility to the broader landscape of Florida nursing homes, where the average resident receives about 0.52 hours of registered nurse time and roughly 3.87 total nursing hours each day. To put that in perspective, 3.87 hours of total nursing care per day across all staff means residents are typically getting care spread across multiple interactions throughout the day, from help with meals and medications to personal hygiene and health monitoring. Because this facility has not reported its figures, it is worth asking the administration directly about their staffing ratios before making a decision.

Winter Park Care And Rehabilitation has a 2 out of 5 star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth paying attention to. The facility has one government penalty on record, with a fine of $73,968 issued in February 2024. A fine of that size typically reflects a serious citation, and the fact that it happened recently means families should ask the facility directly about what led to it and what changes have been made since. This doesn't automatically make the facility a bad choice, but it does mean you'll want to look closely and ask questions before making a decision.
