Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. 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 place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Florida in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving patients at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category turned out to be its short-term care score, where it received a B-. Short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this nursing home received a B- for long-term care, which is generally a decent rating. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care rather than the skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
