Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as favorable as its nursing hours data. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 43.223442 percent of its patients. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Fortunately, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.22 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home performed better in this statistic. We found that it fared better than most facilities in this area with 54.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our last category, this facility received a C in nursing, which is a decent rating. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few components, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, 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 view these statistics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
