Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received first-rate health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in this category, with an A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received high scores in the category of short-term care as well. Indeed, we gave it one of our most superb scores in that category with a score of A-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home elevated its score in this area by providing more care from registered nurses to its patients than a typical facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This place performed respectably with 48.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses spend with patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Approximately a quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most highly skilled levels of nurses. These are both impressive figures, which typically correlates with higher quality care. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering falls which lead to serious injury, this nursing home performed as well as any nursing home in Florida.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this facility received a very strong long-term care score. This nursing home did not prove to have any real weak links. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. The last statistic we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.22 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
