Long-term Care Quality
This facility earned a strong overall score as discussed above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care grade. We gave them a grade of A in this category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.69 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also excelled in inspections. We gave it an A for that category, which is one of our best grades. This is one of the few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range which earned multiple category grades this high. Our inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This place fared respectably with 49.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we analyzed was nursing. We gave this facility a grade of D for the area of nursing, leaving this as the nursing home's worst area. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. In this nursing home's case, quantity of care does not appear to be the problem. According to its CMS data, this nursing home provided an average of 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was above the national average. Finally, we also factored in some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented with better nursing care.
