Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall score, this place also received first-rate inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in this category, with an A+. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional quality feature for this nursing home is that it was given a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, this proved to be its second best category score. In this area, we awarded this facility a B+. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.583336 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a grade of B. In determining our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the country in this area with 61.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the fourth area, this nursing home did not fare well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this was notably this nursing home's poorest area. The nursing rating weighs several subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. While this facility's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in a few of the qualitative metrics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its patients are sustaining fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
