Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It was above average in this area with 49.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. When determining a facility's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, 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 quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of C in the area. In computing our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living received by a facility's patients. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 50.98039 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was also below average. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic may be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of patients
