Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In that category, we awarded it a grade of A+. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it was given a very positive long-term care score. Indeed, this proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 92.97752 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 3.13 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of residents.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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 reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. Sadly, this category hurt the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is typically a useful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 31.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
