Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its short-term care score. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This facility is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in North Carolina in this area with 65.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. The nursing rating is based on many datapoints, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 5.6 hours of nursing care per resident daily, of which a significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to offering high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it performed as well as any facility in the state in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these datapoints as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last area, we gave this facility an A+ for its long-term care rating. This wrapped up a first-rate profile. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered on top of this facility's impressive nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for seniors. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.63 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
