Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this very important category. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded strong grades in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, we awarded it one of our most elite grades in that area with a score of A. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.41521 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 1.92 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is close to average in this area.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility averages just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given a C. This is this facility's worst area. This is nevertheless not a poor grade. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is generally a useful assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. 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 item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
