Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We would like to point out that this nursing home's nursing grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our better grades. We looked at the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Florida in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area ended up being its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid inspection report this year as well, with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a score of B-. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a C. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 87.27273 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly less than what we expected. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
