Reading the numbers for Larsen Health Center
Nursing hours are a clear strength
Total nursing time is 5 hours 36 minutes per resident per day against a Florida average of 3 hours 49 minutes, and nurse aide time of 3 hours 33 minutes is well above the state average of 2 hours 19 minutes. That is a lot of hands-on time per resident.
But quality measures are below average
This rating covers clinical outcomes such as falls, infections and pressure ulcers. It is the one measure here in the lower band, and it sits oddly alongside the strong staffing figures. It is worth asking the clinical team directly which outcomes are being worked on.
Turnover is around the state average
Total nursing turnover is 44.2% and registered nurse turnover 41.8%, both close to the Florida averages of 41.4% and 46%. Not a red flag, but not a strength either, and it stands in contrast to the smaller non-profits nearby.
Large, and part of a retirement community
At 180 certified beds and around 153 residents, this is one of the biggest facilities in the area, operated as a non-profit within a continuing care retirement community. Reported physical therapist time of 3 minutes per resident per day is below the state average of 5.
Questions worth asking before you sign
- Which quality measures pulled that rating down, and what is being done about them?
- Are skilled nursing beds prioritised for existing residents of the retirement community?
- How many therapy sessions per week would my relative actually receive?
- Can we see the most recent state survey report and the plan of correction?
