Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that category, we awarded it an A+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a favorable long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better scores in that area with a score of B. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After assessing the significant amount of nursing hours provided by this nursing home, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.58592 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 1.77 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. When we looked at this facility's physical therapist hours, we found it offered more hours of physical therapy per day to its residents than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 46.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home was awarded a decent nursing grade of B-. There are several factors within this grade. Most of these data points are tied to staffing levels. With 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this metric. Avoiding serious falls is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
