Facility Inspections
To pair with a strong overall grade, we gave this place a grade of A+ for inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 83.04094 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.13 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade includes many subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a strong short-term care rating this year, with a grade of C. While this wasn't nearly as strong as many of its other scores, this is nevertheless a decent rating for this area. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 40.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
