Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care score. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers at least 50% more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 55.3 percent of its patients able to return home. This is a higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is better than average. In calculating our nursing ratings, we add additional weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Based on its grade in this category, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that this facility received good marks in both nursing hours and its vaccination records. Indeed, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This figure is actually higher than many nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.07 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
