PALMS CARE CENTER AND REHAB

Staffing at Palms Care Center And Rehab is a bit of a mixed picture compared to other [Florida nursing homes](/florida/lauderdale-lakes). On the positive side, residents here receive more registered nurse time than the state average - about 0.68 RN hours per resident per day versus Florida's average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means a slightly better chance that a trained RN is involved in your loved one's care and able to catch changes in condition early. However, when you look at total nurse hours across all staff types, the facility comes in at 3.55 hours per resident per day, which is a little below the Florida average of 3.87. That gap matters on a busy day, since it can affect how quickly a call light gets answered, how much time aides have for bathing and meals, and just how rushed the overall care feels. Neither number is alarming on its own, but the lower total staffing hours are worth asking about when you visit.
