Sandgate Gardens Rehab And Nursing Center holds a 2-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 58% is well above the Florida average of 41%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
