Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but it really excelled in the area of nursing care, with an impressive grade of A- in this category. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This facility's inspection score exceeded its overall grade as well. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 34.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home was awarded a C for long-term care, which is a respectable grade. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for people in need of more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.03279 percent of its patients. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.29 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
