PALATKA CENTER FOR REHABILITATION AND HEALING

Staffing at Palatka Center For Rehabilitation And Healing is right in line with the state average when it comes to registered nurses, with both the facility and the typical [Florida nursing homes](/florida/palatka) coming in at 0.52 RN hours per resident each day. In practical terms, that works out to roughly 30 minutes of care from a registered nurse per resident over a full 24-hour period. Where things dip a bit is in total nursing hours, which includes aides and licensed practical nurses as well. Palatka comes in at 3.55 total nurse hours per resident per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87. That gap of about 20 minutes per resident per day might not sound like much on paper, but across a full shift and a full floor of residents, it can translate to staff being stretched a little thinner when it comes to tasks like repositioning, bathing, meals, and responding to call lights. It is not a dramatic difference, but it is worth keeping in mind as you weigh your options.
