Staffing Rating
Vivo Healthcare Fort Pierce holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different, and it's worth understanding what each one is actually telling you.
The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, which is average. This reflects how the facility has fared during state inspections, including the number of issues cited and how serious those issues were. Average here means nothing alarming stands out, but it's a category worth asking the facility about directly. The staffing rating is 4 stars, above average, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd typically find elsewhere. That's a meaningful day-to-day difference for your loved one's care and comfort. The standout here is the quality measures rating, a full 5 stars, which is based on 15 clinical outcomes like resident mobility, pain management, and how well medical conditions are being managed. That top score suggests residents at this facility are genuinely faring well health-wise, which is often the most telling sign of how a nursing home is actually doing its job.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a fall or a sudden change in condition, what happens in the next 30 minutes, and how quickly would someone contact our family?
4. Can I come back for an unannounced visit, and are family members allowed to drop in at any time during regular hours without scheduling ahead?
5. How does a resident here spend a typical Tuesday, and what happens if someone does not want to join group activities or follow the standard daily schedule?
6. When was the last state inspection, what did inspectors find, and can I see a copy of the most recent survey report before I leave today?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
