Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.89503 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.44 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category is short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this area with 49.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Our final area is nursing, in which we gave this facility a grade of C in that area. The nursing rating is based on quite a few factors, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed a few nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these subcategories. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic. This is usually an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident even once per day.
