Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection grades are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for its long-term care grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the datapoints we considered after this nursing home's above average nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for seniors. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its remarkable profile, this nursing home also was given a strong short-term care score, with a score of A. Short-term care grades are vital for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Florida in this area with 58.4 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In our last category, we gave this facility an A+ for our nursing rating. This completed a very strong report card. Our nursing grade is largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With less than 5 percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers could be prevented by providing better nursing care and having a policy of turning patients more often.
