Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a very impressive grade in inspections. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In this category, we gave this nursing home an A. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. It doesn't appear that we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having access to complete information regarding deficiencies, it was difficult to evaluate it in the inspections category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing grade considers numerous factors. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Florida in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. This actually is this nursing home's third strongest category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 92.567566 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the final category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care rating. This topped off a very impressive report card. In forming our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
