Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing scores are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 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 nursing home Florida in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving residents more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third area we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded an above average long-term care grade, with a B in this category. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we scored is short-term care. This facility received a C for the area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
