Clearwater Center

Clearwater Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 1270 Turner Street in Clearwater, Florida, within Pinellas County. The facility operates 109 certified beds and is classified as a non-profit corporation. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents, and its current operational status is active. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest performance. Clearwater Center holds an overall CMS star rating of 1 out of 5. This overall rating reflects component scores across three measured domains. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, which is based on findings from standard and complaint inspections conducted by state surveyors. The staffing rating is 2 out of 5, reflecting the levels of registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing assistant hours provided per resident per day relative to facility census. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5, which is derived from clinical data points related to resident outcomes and care processes. Facility licensure status and inspection history are maintained through the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which conducts periodic surveys to evaluate compliance with state and federal regulations. Clearwater Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who qualify for federal health insurance programs or state-administered assistance. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (727) 443-7639 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional payer options that may be available. When compared to Florida state averages, Clearwater Center falls below the norm in several measured categories. The statewide average overall CMS star rating for Florida nursing facilities generally sits above the 1-star threshold, and the facility's health inspection rating of 1 is similarly below what is typical for Florida providers. The staffing rating of 2 is also below the state average for staffing performance. The quality measure rating of 3 is closer to the state average for that domain, indicating that resident outcome measures are more aligned with typical Florida performance than the inspection and staffing scores. These comparative figures are based on publicly available CMS data and are intended to provide context for evaluating this facility alongside others in the state.
