Also, I’ve attached a link that shows their overall rating (health inspections rating, quality measures rating, staffing rating) from the Medicare website. This link even shows reasons for the complaints. Follow the link, select “Find a Nursing Home Within a Certain Distance of City”, then type in ”St Petersburg” and select ”Northern Florida” and “10 miles”. In my opinion, neither Jacaranda nor South Heritage scored very well. http://www.medicare.gov/NHCompare/Include/DataSection/Questions/ProximitySearch.asp
