OAKS OF CLEARWATER, THE

Staffing at The Oaks of Clearwater is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other [Florida nursing homes](/florida/clearwater). On the registered nurse (RN) side, residents here receive about 0.40 hours of RN time per day, which falls short of the Florida average of 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that means RNs are spending a little less one-on-one time with each resident compared to what you might find elsewhere, which can matter when it comes to catching health changes early or managing complex medical needs. That said, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff - including licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants - the facility actually comes in slightly above the Florida average at 3.95 hours per resident per day versus the state's 3.87. So while higher-level nursing coverage is a bit thinner here, the overall hands-on care time is competitive. If your loved one has significant medical needs that require frequent RN attention, it is worth asking the facility directly how they handle those situations day to day.
