Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is more often than not a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Florida in this area with 68.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided 4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Roughly one quarter of that care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. Both of these figures easily exceed the national average. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its patients suffering falls leading to major injury, this place performed as well as any nursing home in the state.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was this nursing home's poorest category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a respectable grade of C for our long-term care category. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to providing quality levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This percentage is better than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
