Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place turned out to be a quality nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this area. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat 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 facility truly excelled in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Very few facilities performed better in this area. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the average nursing home. This nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.38 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these datapoints. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this datapoint. This is typically a reliable indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning residents even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of C. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. This is nevertheless not the end of the world. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 41.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
