Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in that area. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received high marks in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. The nursing category consists of several datapoints, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these statistics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a resident even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of D for short-term care, leaving this as its worst category grade. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this facility's case, we found that it offers less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 35.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
