The facility operates 180 certified beds and is structured as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid and maintains an active status with the state. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns an overall star rating of 2 out of 5 to this facility, based on a composite of three domain scores. The health inspection rating stands at 2 out of 5, reflecting findings from on-site inspections conducted by state survey agencies.

The quality measure rating is also 4 out of 5, suggesting that clinical outcome measures, such as rates of hospitalization and functional decline, compare favorably relative to national benchmarks. The overall 2-star rating is primarily influenced by the lower health inspection score, which carries significant weight in the CMS methodology. Prospective users of this data should note that star ratings are updated periodically as new inspection and staffing data become available. West Melbourne Health & Rehabilitation Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, making it accessible to residents who qualify for either federal program. Individuals and families researching placement options are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (321) 725-7360 to confirm current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional insurance arrangements that may be accepted. When compared to Florida state averages, this facility presents a mixed profile. Florida nursing homes carry an average overall star rating that tends to cluster around 3 stars, meaning this facility's overall 2-star rating falls below the statewide norm. However, its staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 stars each exceed typical state averages in those domains, which is a notable distinction. The lower health inspection rating is the primary factor pulling the composite score below state and national midpoints. Florida as a state has a large and competitive skilled nursing market, and Brevard County specifically contains multiple certified facilities serving the senior population.
