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 78% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 10 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.
Gulfport Nursing Center receives highly polarized reviews, with a strong reputation for its physical therapy department but significant, recurring concerns regarding basic hygiene and communication. While many patients praise the rehab staff for helping them regain mobility, multiple family members have reported instances of neglect, including residents being left in soiled conditions and poor responsiveness from administrative staff. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between the well-regarded therapy services and the reported lapses in daily nursing care and cleanliness.

Key Review Excerpts
“The awesome therapy team got me from wheelchair-bound to walking during my stay there. They were all very knowledgeable, helpful, and Friendly.”
“This place is poorly run they will give your family the wrong medicine then act like it’s the patients fault they let my father sleep in a room with urine and poop all over the floor for two days st8!”
“The new check in procedure is quick, easy and secure. The facility is getting renovated. The entrance is difficult to find the first time you’re there. The upstairs is the only floor occupied due to storm damage.”
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.
