Tampa Lakes Health And Rehabilitation Center

Tampa Lakes Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite that pulls together three separate ratings, each measuring something different, so it's worth understanding what each one tells you. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, meaning the facility's record of state inspection findings is about average. Inspectors look at how many citations a facility has received and how serious those violations were, so "average" here means there's room for improvement but no major red flags standing out from the crowd. Staffing also sits at 3 stars, which reflects the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to how many residents live there. In practical terms, this is average staffing coverage, so it's worth asking the facility directly about how they handle nights, weekends, and busier periods. Where Tampa Lakes really shines is in quality measures, earning a perfect 5 stars. This rating is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like wound care, mobility, and pain management, and scoring at the top nationally is a meaningful sign that residents are tending to fare well in their day-to-day health. The strong quality measures score carries significant weight in pulling the overall rating up to 4 stars, which is genuinely encouraging news for families considering this facility.
