Quality ratings
The rating comes from CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026). CMS rolls three sub-ratings into the overall star: health inspection, staffing, and quality measures. The chart below sets each of them against the Florida average.
What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Fort Myers, Florida. Bed capacity and average daily census, where CMS reports them, are in Facility details below. Its ownership type, listed in Facility details, can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. Occupancy of about 89% puts this facility in normal territory for a stabilized operation, neither unusually full nor unusually empty.
Same-ownership peers
Within Florida, Lee Memorial Hospital Skilled Nursing Unit is one of 102 non profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the non profit - corporation-segment average of 3.5 stars, ahead of roughly 46% of same-ownership peers in the state.
