Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
We also want to note the fact that this facility received a first-rate score of A in our short-term care area. With our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed better than most facilities in this area with 54.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, less than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. In determining a facility's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses are seeing patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is among the better totals in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by these statistics. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was long-term care. This facility was given a strong long-term care score this year, with a grade of C. Even though this wasn't nearly as good as several of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable score for that area. Long-term care grades are typically used to score a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 93.52518 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.89 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
