OAKS OF CLEARWATER, THE

The Oaks of Clearwater has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which is below average and worth taking seriously as you research options for a loved one. There is one government penalty on record, with a fine of $7,409 issued in May 2023, which suggests regulators did find a compliance issue significant enough to result in formal action. That said, one penalty does not automatically mean a facility is unsafe, but it does mean you should ask the facility directly about what happened, what changed, and how they handle concerns today. Visiting in person and speaking with staff and current residents' families can give you a much fuller picture than numbers alone. Families evaluating this facility can compare it to others in Clearwater on the [Clearwater nursing homes and assisted living page](/florida/clearwater).
