One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite long-term care score. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of A. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered in addition to this nursing home's quality nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.731186 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly. This combination proved to be effective as this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.1 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
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. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. With 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering falls leading to major injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in the nation. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this facility a decent grade in this category, with a B-. Although this is not as favorable as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless not a terrible score. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
