Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another reason we assessed this facility so favorably is that it was awarded an A+ long-term care grade. This is flat out as elite as it gets in this category. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered on top of this nursing home's quality nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility was just about middle of the road in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category was its short-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. It fared better than most facilities in this area with 52.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed is nursing, was this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. This was one of the few weak links on a very solid report card. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. In this nursing home's case, quantity of care does not appear to be the problem. According to its CMS reports, this facility provided an average of 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Finally, we turn to some quality-focused statistics in rounding out our nursing scores. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
