Coquina Center

Coquina Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall number is a composite of three separate ratings, and it is worth understanding each one on its own. The health inspection rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few or no serious problems during their visits - a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and in compliance with care standards. The quality measures rating is also a 5, which looks at 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and how well residents maintain their physical function. Scoring at the top here suggests residents are actually experiencing good health outcomes day to day. The one area families should look at closely is the staffing rating, which sits at just 1 star. This reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to how many people live there, and a 1-star score means it is much lower than the national average. In practical terms, that could mean nurses and aides are stretched thin, which can affect how quickly call lights get answered or how much personal attention your loved one receives. It is worth asking the facility directly about their staffing levels and how they handle nights, weekends, and high-need residents. The strong inspection and quality outcomes scores are genuinely encouraging, but the staffing gap is a real question to raise before making a decision.
