HAWTHORNE CENTER FOR REHABILITATION AND HEALING OF

Staffing at Hawthorne Center For Rehabilitation And Healing stands out in one important way: residents here get noticeably more registered nurse time than the state norm. At 0.96 RN hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 0.52, that difference adds up to real benefits in your loved one's day, since RNs handle complex medical decisions, medication oversight, and recognizing when something is wrong before it becomes serious. When you look at total nurse hours, though, the picture shifts slightly. The facility comes in at 3.69 total nursing hours per resident per day, which is a bit below the Florida average of 3.87 across [Florida nursing homes](/florida/brandon). That gap reflects the hours put in by CNAs and LPNs who handle much of the hands-on daily care like bathing, meals, and mobility help. So while your family member would likely benefit from stronger RN attention and clinical oversight here, the day-to-day caregiving support is modestly below what you might find at comparable facilities elsewhere in the state. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, but together they give you a clearer picture of what to ask about during a tour.
