Staffing levels and turnover

Nursing hours per resident per day is the most reliable single indicator of care quality, because CMS verifies it against payroll records rather than taking the facility’s word for it.

What the data says

Reading the numbers for The Preserve

It scores well on all three measures

Health inspections, staffing and quality measures all sit in the upper bands. That consistency is rare, and it is what separates a genuine five-star facility from one carried by a single strong measure.

Registered nurse hours stand out

At 1 hour 5 minutes per resident per day against a Florida average of 44 minutes, registered nurse time here is roughly 48% above the state norm. Registered nurses coordinate and oversee care, so this figure matters more than headcount alone.

Non-profit and comparatively small

At 75 certified beds and around 70 residents, this is a smaller building than most in the area, run by a non-profit rather than an investor group. Smaller does not automatically mean better, but it usually means less shift churn and a quieter environment.

Questions worth asking before you sign

  • Is there a waiting list, and how long is it typically?
  • Which insurance plans and Medicare Advantage networks are accepted?
  • What is the therapy schedule for a short-term rehabilitation stay?
  • Can we see the most recent state survey report and the plan of correction?
