Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. Short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 57.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as good measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was long-term care. We gave this facility a D for long-term care, rendering this the facility's worst category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 35.326088 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points below average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
