Culture and working life
What to consider
CMS Quality Measures and Long-Stay Quality Measures are 5 stars; health inspection is 1 star and staffing is 3 stars. Local recognition includes a first-place Best Nursing Home community award and Nurse of the Year honors in 2024 and 2026.
The good
- Flexible scheduling with part-time 3P–11P RN options and overtime available
- 120-bed SNF focused on short-term rehab and long-term care
- Employer cites comfortable staffing ratios
- CMS Quality Measures and Long-Stay QM rated 5 stars
- Local Best Nursing Home award and recurring Nurse/CNA of the Year recognition
- Lakeland cost of living ~3% below national; no FL state income tax; compact-license state
The hard parts
- CMS health inspection rated 1 star
- CMS staffing rated 3 stars
- Weekend RN HPRD drops to 0.217
What to weigh
CMS rates health inspection at 1 star and staffing at 3 stars, so survey history and staffing depth are weaker than the 5-star Quality Measures scores.
