How to read CANTERBURY TOWERS INC's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for CANTERBURY TOWERS INC 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 5-star overall rating means CANTERBURY TOWERS INC sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.
For CANTERBURY TOWERS INC, CMS currently publishes 4 out of 5 for health inspections, 5 out of 5 for staffing, 3 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. CANTERBURY TOWERS INC rates 5 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 CANTERBURY TOWERS INC's inspection record shows
Surveyors recorded 3 deficiencies for CANTERBURY TOWERS INC at the inspection logged in July 2025. 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 CANTERBURY TOWERS INC 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 CANTERBURY TOWERS INC, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at CANTERBURY TOWERS INC 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 CANTERBURY TOWERS INC, 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.
