Nursing Homes in Cape Coral
Cape Coral has three Medicare-certified skilled nursing facilities, and they sit at opposite ends of the federal ratings. Two are within a mile of each other on Santa Barbara Boulevard and are rated very differently, so the choice here matters more than the short distances suggest.

All three Cape Coral facilities, with their current federal ratings. Fort Myers facilities are five to eight miles away and are often worth including in a shortlist.

What the Cape Coral ratings actually show
None of the three currently holds a top federal rating. Rehab and Healthcare Center of Cape Coral sits in the lowest band, with the lowest total nursing hours of any facility we profile and registered nurse turnover approaching 60%. Gulf Coast Village has no published star ratings at all, which usually means insufficient recent inspection data rather than a poor score — and its reported staffing hours are actually well above the Florida average.
Worth crossing the bridge for
Several strongly staffed facilities sit a short drive away in Fort Myers, including two rated in the top band within about five miles. If daily visiting is possible from Cape Coral, widening the search across the river is likely to improve the options considerably. Our full regional comparison shows all 25 side by side.
Do not stop at the overall star
The overall CMS rating is not an average of the three underlying scores. It starts with the health inspection rating and only moves if staffing or quality measures hit five stars or one star. That means two facilities showing the same star can be very different places, and a well-staffed facility can display a low star because of its inspection record.

Questions about Cape Coral nursing homes
How many nursing homes are there in Cape Coral?
Three Medicare-certified skilled nursing facilities: Gulf Coast Village, Aviata at Santa Barbara and Rehab and Healthcare Center of Cape Coral.
Which Cape Coral nursing home has the best rating?
None currently holds a top federal rating. Gulf Coast Village has no published ratings, which usually means insufficient recent inspection data rather than a poor score. Several higher-rated facilities are a short drive away in Fort Myers.
Why does Gulf Coast Village show no star rating?
CMS marks a facility as not available when there is not enough recent inspection data to calculate a score, often after a change of ownership or certification. It is not the same as a low score.
Should I look outside Cape Coral?
If daily visiting from Cape Coral is realistic, widening the search into Fort Myers is worth doing. Two facilities rated in the top federal band sit within about five miles.
