Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections are virtually flawless. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
On the list of its many high-end scores, this nursing home received first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this category. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.06 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the middle of the pack due to it having more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning our next category, this nursing home was given first-rate short-term care score. In fact, it received a score of A- in this area. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. It outperformed the overwhelming majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 57.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at was nursing, where this nursing home was given a grade of B. Although this wound up being its least impressive category score, this is still an above average rating. The nursing grade considers a variety of data points. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
