Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a score of A- for our short-term care score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. We were impressed to find that this facility offers its residents significantly more hours of physical therapy than most other facilities. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Florida in this area with 59.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded a strong long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area with a score of B. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the well above average quantity of care provided by aids and other staff at this facility, we also were happy with the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.19679 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 3.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some facilities based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated was nursing. This facility received a strong nursing score this year, with a grade of C. Even though this was not as impressive as some of its other scores, this remains an acceptable score for that category. Our nursing score is based on several subcategories, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an impressive figure. Finally, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
