Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well overall, this nursing home earned an excellent inspection report. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in that area with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing grade considers a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was short-term care. Contributing to its top-shelf resume, this nursing home also performed well in that area. In fact, we gave it a of A- in that area. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. It performed better than most facilities in the country in this area with 54.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
In our final area, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its long-term care rating. This wrapped up an elite report card. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 3.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some facilities due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
