FERNANDINA BEACH REHABILITATION AND NURSING CENTER

Fernandina Beach Rehabilitation And Nursing Center holds an overall 2-out-of-5-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average when stacked up against other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and the mix here tells an interesting story. The health inspection rating is just 1 out of 5 stars, the lowest possible, which reflects a higher number or greater severity of citations found during state inspections. In plain terms, inspectors flagged more problems here than at most facilities, and that weighs heavily on the overall score. The staffing rating comes in at 2 out of 5 stars, meaning the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to the size of the resident population is below average. Fewer staff hours per resident can affect how quickly needs get met day to day. The one clear bright spot is the quality measures rating, which is a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. That score is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like wound care, mobility, pain management, and rehab progress, and the facility performs much better than average on those measures. So while the inspection history and staffing levels give real reason for families to ask hard questions, the clinical outcomes for residents are genuinely strong. If you are considering this facility, it would be worth asking the administration directly about the specific inspection findings and what steps have been taken to address them.
