Savoy At Fort Lauderdale Rehabilitation And Nursin

Savoy at Fort Lauderdale Rehabilitation and Nursing holds a 2-star overall rating from CMS, which falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. The overall score is a composite that weighs all three sub-ratings together, but the health inspection score carries the most influence, and that is where this facility struggles. A 2-star health inspection rating means state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations, or more serious ones, during their visits. For families, that is worth paying attention to, since inspections are the closest thing to an independent, on-the-ground look at how a facility actually operates day to day. The brighter spots here are staffing and quality measures, both of which earned 4 stars, meaning above average. The staffing score tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents relative to the number of people living there, which generally translates to more attentive, responsive care. The quality measures score reflects how residents are doing on 15 clinical indicators, things like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and medication management, and scoring above average there suggests the care being delivered is producing reasonably good health outcomes. The gap between those strong scores and the weaker inspection rating is something worth asking the facility directly about, specifically what citations were found and what steps have been taken to address them.
