Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. With 1.96 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this place is just about middle of the pack in this area.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home received a very good short-term care grade this year, with a grade of C. Even though this isn't as dominant as several of its other scores, this remains a respectable grade in that category. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 36.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
