THE TERRACE AT COURTENAY SPRINGS

At The Terrace At Courtenay Springs, residents receive about 3.88 total nurse hours per day, which is essentially on par with the 3.87-hour average seen across [Florida senior care facilities](/florida/merritt-island). In practical terms, that means the overall amount of hands-on nursing care a resident gets each day is comparable to what most families would find elsewhere in the state. Where there is a noticeable difference is in registered nurse coverage specifically. The facility logs 0.41 RN hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 0.52. RNs handle more complex medical decisions and oversight, so a lower RN figure can mean that more of the daily care is carried out by licensed practical nurses or certified nursing assistants rather than higher-credentialed staff. That is not necessarily a red flag on its own, but it is worth asking the facility how RN oversight is structured throughout the day, especially if your loved one has ongoing medical needs that require close monitoring.
