This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent nursing score. We gave them a grade of A in this category. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Florida in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is typically a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home received a strong long-term care score. This facility didn't turn out to have any weak links. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for.

This facility vaccinated 99.07976 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital.
