INDIAN BEACH NURSING AND REHAB CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Indian Beach Nursing and Rehab Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #641 out of 690, they are in the bottom half of facilities in Florida, and #25 out of 30 in Sarasota County, suggesting limited local options for better care. The facility is worsening, having increased from three issues in 2024 to five in 2025, and has a concerning total of 19 issues found during inspections, three of which were critical. On a positive note, staffing has a good rating of 4 out of 5 stars, with turnover at 47%, which is average for the state, indicating that staff members tend to stay longer and may know the residents well. However, the facility has faced $14,800 in fines, which is concerning, and recent inspections revealed critical issues, such as failure to maintain comfortable temperatures in resident rooms, raising concerns about resident comfort and safety.
