Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other strengths is its high-end long-term care score. We awarded them one of our most impressive scores in that area, with a score of A-. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 1.78 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is middle of the road in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The third highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is generally used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. 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. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. It performed respectably in this metric with 47.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at is nursing. This facility was awarded an above average nursing rating in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this wasn't as strong as some of its other grades, this is still a decent rating for that area. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, this place was relatively weak in some of the areas we look at, with subpar scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
