Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home earned near flawless government inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was superb in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities performed better in this category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.507385 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 4 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some facilities based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
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. The nursing rating assesses quite a few datapoints, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth area we graded is short-term care, where this facility was given a B+. This completed a very impressive report card. Few nursing homes received a B+ or better in every category. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
