Suwannee Valley Nursing Center

Staffing at Suwannee Valley Nursing Center is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other [Florida nursing homes](/florida/jasper). On the registered nurse side, this facility actually comes in above the state average, offering about 0.90 RN hours per resident each day compared to Florida's average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means residents here tend to have more access to higher-skilled nursing care throughout the day, which can matter a lot when it comes to managing medications, catching health changes early, or handling more complex medical needs. However, when you look at total nurse hours, which includes aides and other nursing staff, the facility sits at 3.52 hours per resident per day, a bit below the Florida average of 3.87. That gap can show up in day-to-day moments like how quickly someone gets help getting dressed, going to the bathroom, or receiving regular check-ins. Neither number tells the whole story on its own, but together they suggest a facility where skilled nursing attention may be a relative strength, while hands-on daily care support runs slightly leaner than average.
