Woodland Grove Health & Rehabilitation Center is located in Jacksonville, Florida, which is one of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the country. With an overall grade of B, this is a very respectable nursing home. This grade is right in line with the city grade in Jacksonville. This nursing home's impressive report card was highlighted by its inspection rating, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for the area of inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
This facility truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Few facilities performed more favorably in this area. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.19519 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. This nursing home was also able to keep its residents out of the hospital. While it had 2.69 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most facilities due to it having some more complex patients.

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing rating consists of several factors, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed admirably in this statistic. Avoiding serious falls is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home offers enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
The last category we analyzed was short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Naturally, this grade hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Our short-term care scores are likely most important for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 38.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
