Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we gave it an A+. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Building on its impressive profile, this place also excelled in the category of nursing. We gave it an B for that category. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care, where this facility was given a B- in this area. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that it was above average in this metric with 51.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is long-term care. This facility received a C in the category. In computing our long-term care ratings, we look at the assistance with daily living received by the facility's patients. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.402985 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.51 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
