Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road score in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.57265 percent of its residents. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.36 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. The nursing grade assesses quite a few datapoints, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored in some quality-based assessments. This place performed well in some of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home was given an acceptable short-term care score of C. Our short-term care scores are presumably more meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. In fact, we found that it was above average in this metric with 49.6 percent of its patients returning home.
