AdventHealth Care Center Orlando North

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.27778 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also received a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, this is its third strongest category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A. In forming these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

In our final area, this facility also was awarded a first-rate nursing grade, with a grade of A. This finished off a very favorable profile. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
