Reading the numbers for Winkler Court
Staff retention is among the best in the region
Total nursing staff turnover is 18.6% against a Florida average of 41.4%, and registered nurse turnover is 27.8% against 46%. Very few facilities in the area hold on to staff like this, and long-serving staff usually know their residents well.
But the nursing hours themselves are below average
Total nursing time is 3 hours 17 minutes per resident per day against a Florida average of 3 hours 49 minutes, and aide time is below average too. The Above average staffing rating is driven largely by retention rather than by the number of hours available, which is an important distinction.
Inspections sit in the lowest band
Health inspections are rated Much below average and carry the most weight in the overall score. That single measure is what keeps the overall rating at Below average despite strong scores elsewhere.
Non-profit ownership
CMS records this as a non-profit corporation under the Florida Institute for Long-Term Care, rather than an investor-owned operator. That does not guarantee better care, but it does change who the surplus goes to.
Questions worth asking before you sign
- What was cited at the most recent state survey, and what has changed since?
- Given the turnover figures, how long has the senior nursing team been in post?
- How are staffing levels maintained at weekends?
- Can we see the most recent state survey report and the plan of correction?
