Staffing Rating
Oak Hammock at the University of Florida earns a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects strong performance across most of the key areas inspectors look at. The overall rating is a composite that weighs three separate scores together, so it's worth looking at each one individually to get the full picture. On staffing, Oak Hammock scores 5 out of 5 stars, meaning nurses spend significantly more time with residents than you'd see at a typical facility - that's a meaningful indicator of attentive, hands-on care. The quality measures rating is also 5 out of 5 stars, which looks at 15 clinical outcomes like how often residents develop pressure wounds, experience falls, or need to be hospitalized - top marks here suggest residents are genuinely staying healthier day to day. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average, meaning state inspectors found a typical number and severity of citations during their visits. That's not a red flag on its own, but it's worth asking the facility directly about any recent inspection findings so you know what they were and how staff responded. Taken together, the exceptional staffing and clinical outcomes are strong enough to carry the overall rating to 5 stars, making Oak Hammock a genuinely impressive option for families weighing their choices.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a day shift, and does that number change significantly at night or on weekends? 2. How often do residents get assigned the same aides and nurses week to week, and what happens to their care routine when a staff member calls out sick? 3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night? 4. How does the staff handle a resident who resists care, gets confused, or becomes upset, and who on your team is trained specifically in dementia care? 5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who is mobile and social, and what options exist for someone who prefers to stay in their room? 6. What were your most recent state inspection findings, and what specific changes did you make in response to any deficiencies that were cited?

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.
