Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also received top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with an A. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we rated this facility so well is that it was awarded a very impressive short-term care score. Indeed, short-term care ended up being its second most favorable category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A-. In determining our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility with 68.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This facility averages just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also consider some quality-focused metrics. We look at the percent of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these issues.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in that category. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.2 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
