Long-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in our long-term care category, where it received an impressive grade of A. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the elite level of care provided by aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. For example, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 1.94 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is close to average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it was awarded a very positive short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are important for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This place outperformed most nursing homes in the country with 51.9 percent of its patients returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated was nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. This facility turned out to be relatively strong in all areas we analyzed. The nursing rating features a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to 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 look at these data points as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
