Palm Garden Of Jacksonville

Palm Garden of Jacksonville holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it performs at an average level compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, reflecting an average number and severity of citations found during state inspections - nothing that stands out as especially alarming, but not a particularly clean record either. Staffing is also rated 3 stars, meaning the amount of nursing time available per resident falls right around the national middle, which is worth keeping in mind if your loved one has more complex care needs. The brightest spot here is the 4-star quality measures rating, which looks at 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents - things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure sores, or supports mobility. Scoring above average there is a meaningful sign that residents are generally experiencing solid day-to-day health outcomes. Taken together, this is a facility that performs consistently in the middle of the pack across most areas, with a genuine strength in clinical outcomes. For families, that quality measures score is encouraging because it reflects what actually happens to residents over time. At the same time, it would be worth asking the facility directly about staffing levels on different shifts, since an average staffing score can sometimes mask thinner coverage during nights or weekends.
