Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many high-end grades, this nursing home was awarded an excellent long-term care grade. In fact, it received a grade of A- in that area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.76303 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.8 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
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+. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home received a very strong short-term care score. Even though this is not as strong as many of its other grades, this is still one of the more favorable scores we offer. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types 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. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was above average in this area with 50.2 percent of its residents returning home.
