Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received a first-rate grade of A in our long-term care area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.47328 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. There are several subcategories included in this area. Most of these datapoints reflect staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home 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 frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the final category we assessed, this nursing home was given a very strong grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this score, the nursing home finished off a very strong profile. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more critical for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
