FIRST COAST HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER

First Coast Health And Rehabilitation Center provides more registered nurse time per resident than most [Florida nursing homes](/florida/jacksonville), with RNs averaging 0.73 hours per resident each day compared to the state average of 0.52 hours. That extra RN time can matter, since registered nurses handle more complex medical decisions and assessments. However, when you look at total nursing hours across all staff combined, the picture shifts. Residents here receive about 3.23 total nurse hours per day, which falls below the Florida average of 3.87 hours. In practical terms, that gap in total staffing could mean nursing aides and other care staff are spread a bit thinner during the busiest parts of the day, like mornings when residents need help getting up, bathing, and eating. It is worth asking the facility directly how they schedule staff across shifts, since those daily rhythms matter just as much as the overall averages.
