Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it earned an A-. Few facilities fared better in this category. If it wasn't for this category, this nursing home's overall grade would have been much worse. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is considered to be a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. It performed better than most facilities in this area with 51.2 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, less than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade also was better than its overall grade. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a B. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
An additional reason we rated this facility so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is as good as it gets in this category. Our nursing score is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This place provides an impressive 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Out of this total, more than one fourth of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most skilled levels of nurses. We apply more weight to hours provided by skilled nurses in calculating our nursing scores. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category score. Of course, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 92.65734 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
