Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in the area of inspections. It received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a score of B+. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed as well in multiple categories. Our inspection grades are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care grades are generally used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Our long-term care grade is often used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.68073 percent of its residents. The last statistic we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.7 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not too bad.
