Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite nursing home overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few places fared as well in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a impressive long-term care grade. In fact, this is this facility's second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. The last statistic we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the national average since it had some more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care grades this year. Indeed, we awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a score of B+. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This facility was satisfactory in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered a reasonable level of care from both physical therapists and registered nurses. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in this area with 65.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we analyzed was nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also considered some quality-based metrics. This nursing home scored well in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
