Coquina Center

Coquina Center is an average-sized nursing home located in Ormond Beach, Florida. We gave this facility an overall grade of B+. A grade of this caliber requires favorable marks in most areas. You can certainly do much worse than this nursing home. We were also pleased to find that this place didn't have any weak links in any of the major categories. Additional information about these categories can be found below.

On top of receiving an elite overall rating, this facility also earned an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Very few nursing homes performed more favorably in this area. In our short-term care category, we seek to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. When we looked at this facility's physical therapist hours, we found it offered more hours of physical therapy per day to its residents than most nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Florida in this area with 66.8 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

This facility was awarded its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable score. With our long-term care score, we assess the amount of services offered by a facility, as well as a handful of quality statistics. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.13187 percent of its residents. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. This nursing home didn't excel here either, with 2.92 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.

The last category we analyzed was nursing. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that category, with a grade of C. Even though this was not as dominant as several of its other scores, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, this nursing home was relatively weak in two of the metrics we look at, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
