How to read BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE 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 BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE 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 BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE, CMS currently publishes 2 out of 5 for health inspections, 3 out of 5 for staffing, 5 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: 18 rated facilities in Tampa average 2.6 out of 5, and the Florida average is 3.2. BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE rates 3 out of 5, above 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 BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE's inspection record shows
Surveyors recorded 1 deficiency for BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE at the inspection logged in June 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 small number of low-severity, quickly corrected citations is common across the industry and is far less concerning than a single high-severity finding. Ask BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE 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 ccrc costs near Tampa, Florida
Florida ccrc 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 BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE 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. Medicare does not pay for room and board in this care category. Common funding routes are private pay, long-term care insurance, a state Medicaid waiver where one exists, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.
When you call BLUE PALMS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER AT FLE, 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.
