Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Guardian Care Nursing & Rehabilitation Center holds a 2-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 79% 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.
