Our read on Okeechobee Health Care Facility

Okeechobee Health Care Facility runs 210 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers here are genuinely strong: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 23% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than almost anything else for consistent daily care. Weekend staffing dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Eight deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2024. Quality measures score 5/5; health inspections sit at 3/5, the one area trailing the rest.
