How to read DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 3-star overall rating means DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER performs around the national middle. Average overall scores usually come from uneven domain results rather than uniform middling performance, so the domain detail matters more than the headline number.
For DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER, CMS currently publishes 3 out of 5 for health inspections, 3 out of 5 for staffing, 4 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Florida providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: 33 rated facilities in Jacksonville average 4 out of 5, and the Florida average is 3.2. DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER rates 3 out of 5, below that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER's inspection record shows
Surveyors recorded 14 deficiencies for DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER at the inspection logged in February 2024. A deficiency is a specific finding that the facility fell short of a federal requirement; each one carries a scope-and-severity grade from an isolated, no-harm issue up to immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.
Counts alone can mislead. A count as high as 14 usually reflects a broad survey covering several care areas, and is worth reading citation by citation rather than treating as a single verdict. Ask DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER directly for its most recent CMS Form 2567 statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that accompanied it — providers are required to make both available to the public on request.
What nursing home costs near Jacksonville, Florida
Florida nursing home typically runs $3,800 to $6,200 per month, a midpoint of roughly $5,000 — about $60,000 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. For skilled nursing, Medicare may cover a limited post-hospital stay in full for the first 20 days and partially through day 100 when the stay qualifies; long-term custodial care is generally paid privately or through Medicaid once assets are spent down.
When you call DOLPHIN POINTE HEALTH CARE CENTER, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
