Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a quality facility is that it received an impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In this area, we awarded it an A+. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it received an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category score. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 94.51796 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
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 weighs a handful of factors, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for short-term care, rendering this the facility's worst area. In forming these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we found that it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 17.9 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
