Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a score of B+. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. With 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility surpassed the overwhelming majority of nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Our last category is long-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in that category. Our long-term care grade is often used to score a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of patient-friendly nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination statistics are fairly strong as well. In fact, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. The last statistic we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.85 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is not too far off the national average.
