One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it received an impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we gave it an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. We awarded it an B+ for that category. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 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 employing a system of turning residents more often.

We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the road score in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The final area we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
