The staffing rating of 5 out of 5 exceeds typical benchmarks seen across Florida nursing homes, where staffing levels frequently receive lower scores due to workforce challenges in the long-term care sector.

However, the health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 falls below Florida state norms, indicating a greater number or severity of inspection findings compared to the average facility in the state.
