These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 69% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 11 findings, above the FL average of 7.3. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Egret Cove Center presents a polarizing experience for families, with recent reviews highlighting a stark divide between facility aesthetics and quality of care. While some visitors praise the cleanliness and recent renovations, others report severe neglect, including unhygienic conditions and a lack of responsiveness from the nursing staff, particularly on weekends.

Key Review Excerpts
“The CNAs do not give the patients their showers and when you voice concerns their behavior becomes increasingly worse. And the food is horrible. Weekends limited staff to care for the patients.”
“I came to visit him on the weekend and found him naked on the floor nonverbal and the workers apparently thought that was okay. No one did anything until I showed and insisted he be transfered out of there”
“The staff were very nice but the facility leaves a lot to be desired. Smells like urine, floors have seen better days, the bathroom was shared by 4 people and not very clean.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
