Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in long-term care. We gave them a grade of A+ in this area. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.76852 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.39 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare places to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the place's inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem 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.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. The nursing grade consists of many components, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility was awarded an acceptable short-term care rating. Even though this was not as dominant as some of its other category grades, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include 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. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 42.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
