Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of A for our long-term care score. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.13 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some nursing homes due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score was strong as well. In fact, we awarded it a B for inspections, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection grades are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care. This facility received a C in the area. Our short-term care grades are probably most important for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This place performed respectably in this area with 45.4 percent of its residents returning home.
