What the CMS Record Reveals About Gardens Nursing and Rehab Center
According to CMS Nursing Home Compare, Gardens Nursing and Rehab Center ranks #462 of 691 rated nursing homes in FL on overall stars (tie-broken by health+staffing+quality, then fewer fines). Gardens Nursing and Rehab Center operates 120 certified beds in Miami, FL with approximately 113 residents currently in care, and carries a CMS overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars (health inspection 1★ · staffing 5★ · quality 5★).
The inspection file contains 50 deficiency records from recent surveys, of which 1 reached the actual-harm or immediate-jeopardy threshold on the CMS scope-and-severity grid. This provider has been fined 3 times by CMS, for a combined $265K. Per resident day, this facility reports 3.79 total nursing hours (national average 3.86) and 0.65 RN hours. This facility is flagged as an SFF Candidate, a larger pool of providers eligible for the Special Focus Facility program but not currently selected (states have a limited number of active SFF slots); it remains under normal, not enhanced, oversight.
Classified as "For profit - Corporation" ownership and operating as a "Medicare and Medicaid" provider, Gardens Nursing and Rehab Center falls into a category where comparative context matters. Reported nursing staff turnover at this facility is 26.9% (CMS payroll-based measure).
Why sub-scores and the CMS methodology matter
The overall score is a composite of three weighted sub-ratings published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: health inspection results, staffing levels, and quality measures. Because CMS caps the overall score at the health-inspection tier and then adjusts up or down based on staffing and quality, the sub-scores often tell a sharper story than the headline star count alone, a 3-star facility with weak inspection history reads differently from one held back by thin staffing.
National research consistently shows that ownership structure, staffing hours, and turnover are the three operational levers that correlate most strongly with resident outcomes, ratings and fines are lagging indicators of those upstream choices. The staffing metric in particular is the one most strongly tied to resident outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.
For families evaluating this facility, the CMS record should be read alongside a site visit, direct conversation with current residents and their families, and review of the state health department's most recent inspection report, the star rating is a starting point, not a verdict. All data on this page is sourced from CMS Provider Data and the Nursing Home Compare program; always verify the same record on Medicare.gov Care Compare and with the facility or your state survey agency before making placement decisions.
