SANDGATE GARDENS REHAB AND NURSING CENTER

Staffing at Sandgate Gardens Rehab And Nursing Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other [Florida nursing homes](/florida/fort-pierce). On the registered nurse side, residents here actually get slightly more RN time than the state average, at 0.57 hours per day versus Florida's 0.52 hours. In practical terms, that small difference might mean an RN is a little more available when a family member needs a clinical question answered or a medication concern addressed. However, when you look at total nurse hours, which includes CNAs and LPNs who handle much of the hands-on daily care like bathing, feeding, and repositioning, this facility comes in below the Florida average at 3.34 hours per resident per day compared to 3.87 statewide. That roughly half-hour gap per resident each day can add up, potentially meaning staff are stretched a bit thinner during busy shifts. Neither figure is alarming on its own, but the lower overall staffing hours is worth keeping in mind if your loved one needs frequent hands-on assistance throughout the day.
