Is Pruitthealth - Southwood a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 4 out of 5 stars overall, above the Florida average of 3.3. Inspectors issued 10 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $6,380 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.
