Bradenton Nursing Homes

Bradenton has twelve skilled nursing homes, but only nine have Medicare ratings. The average score is 2.6 stars out of five, meaning most homes rate poorly. Two facilities hold the city's best rating at four stars; four others score two stars or lower. This average reflects a neighborhood where quality varies significantly, and families should prioritize reviewing individual facility reports.

Staffing data shows limited care hours: an average of 3.8 nursing hours per resident daily, with only 0.7 from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 43%, indicating frequent staff changes. High turnover often correlates with less consistent care. These numbers suggest many homes struggle to maintain stable, adequate staffing levels.

Manatee County has five hospitals, including Manatee Memorial with an emergency department. The statewide average annual cost for a shared room is $78,480. With most Bradenton homes scoring low in ratings and staffing, families may find better-rated options in nearby areas like Sarasota or Lakewood Ranch. Always check the latest Medicare.gov ratings before deciding.
