North Dade Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

North Dade Nursing And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell a different part of the story, and in this case, those pieces point in very different directions. The health inspection rating is 1 star, the lowest possible, which reflects a history of citations from state inspections - meaning inspectors found problems, and likely more serious ones than you'd see at a typical facility. That's the piece families should pay closest attention to, since it speaks directly to how well the facility is being run on a day-to-day basis. The staffing rating lands at 3 stars, or average, meaning residents receive a fairly typical amount of nurse time relative to how many people live there - not a standout, but not a concern either. The bright spot is the quality measures rating, which is a perfect 5 stars. That score is based on 15 clinical indicators like how residents are managing with pain, mobility, infections, and other health outcomes, and a top score there suggests the residents are actually doing well physically. The challenge for families is that a strong quality outcome score can't fully offset what the inspection record shows. It's worth digging into the specific inspection findings before making a decision.
