Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an A. In forming our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Remarkably, this place provides roughly one and a half times as many hours of services from registered nurses and physical therapists than most facilities we assessed. This is certainly a very favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation with 58.8 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing rating weighs several subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day, of which more than one hour of those were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained nurses. In calculating our nursing grades, we add more significance to hours provided by registered nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was long-term care, which was this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. However, we wouldn't judge this facility based only on a single bad category, as it earned many high-end scores in other categories. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.24561 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not bad due to it having more complicated patients.
