Staffing Rating
Biscayne Health And Rehabilitation Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects strong performance across the board. The overall rating is a composite that pulls together three separate scores, so think of it as a summary picture of how the facility is doing in inspections, staffing, and actual resident health outcomes. When two or more of those pieces score well, the overall rating benefits, and in Biscayne's case, every piece is performing above average.
Looking at the individual ratings, the 4-star health inspection score means state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems than most facilities during their visits, which is a good sign that the building is being run carefully and residents are living in a safe environment. The 4-star staffing score tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the typical facility does, which matters day-to-day because it affects how quickly staff can respond to needs and how attentive care feels. The standout score here is the 5-star quality measures rating, which is based on 15 clinical indicators like whether residents are losing weight, developing pressure sores, or experiencing falls. Hitting the top mark on that category means Biscayne's residents are showing genuinely better health outcomes compared to most other nursing homes in the country, and that is often the most direct reflection of what life is actually like inside a facility.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift and a night shift?
2. What happens when a resident falls, and can you walk me through the last time that process was used?
3. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here on average, and what is your staff turnover rate over the past year?
4. If my loved one has a complaint or feels uncomfortable about something, who do they tell and what happens next?
5. Can I visit at different times of day without scheduling in advance, and are there any times when family visits are restricted?
6. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who is mobile and socially aware, from morning until bedtime?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
