Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it a grade of A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the senior population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.42 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. We analyzed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This facility provided 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. Our short-term care grade is typically used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 39 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
