Facility Inspections

Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports.

Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this facility's list of accomplishments, it also received a fine long-term care score. We gave them a strong strong of A- in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered in addition to this facility's impressive nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most critical for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of facilities in this area with 53 percent of its residents able to return home.

The last category we graded ended up being this facility's weakest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- for nursing. Our nursing grade includes a handful of components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is among the better totals in Florida. Finally, this nursing home fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
