Bayside Care Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 811 Jackson St N in Saint Petersburg, Florida, within Pinellas County. The facility operates 92 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to serve both Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and maintains active status. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns Bayside Care Center an overall star rating of 2 out of 5. This rating is derived from three component scores. The health inspection rating stands at 2 out of 5, reflecting findings from on-site surveys conducted by state inspectors. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, indicating the facility's nurse staffing levels relative to its resident census. The quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, which is based on clinical data reported for current residents. Prospective residents and families can review the facility's AHCA license status and most recent survey date through the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, which maintains current licensure and inspection records for all certified nursing facilities in the state. Bayside Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, making it accessible to residents who rely on public insurance programs for their care. Individuals with private insurance, long-term care insurance, or personal funds may also inquire directly with the facility regarding coverage options and private-pay arrangements. Because the facility holds dual Medicare and Medicaid certification, it is subject to federal standards and periodic inspection requirements established by CMS. When compared to Florida state averages, Bayside Care Center presents a mixed profile. The state of Florida generally maintains a range of overall ratings across its nursing facility inventory, with many facilities scoring in the mid-range. Bayside Care Center's overall rating of 2 out of 5 falls below the state average, driven primarily by its health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. However, its staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 out of 5 each exceed what is typically seen at facilities with similar overall scores. This divergence suggests that while clinical staffing levels and reported quality indicators are relatively strong, survey findings have had a meaningful impact on the facility's composite rating. Individuals reviewing this facility are encouraged to consult CMS's Care Compare tool for the most current inspection reports, staffing data, and quality measure details.
