Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this proved to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive long-term care rating. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 2.32 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most nursing homes due to it having some more complex patients.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home was given an above average short-term care score, with a B in the category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that it fared better than most facilities in this area with 50.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home was given a very strong nursing grade. Although this was not quite as impressive as some of its other grades, this remains one of our stronger scores we offer. In calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided 4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which was above average. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining falls which lead to serious injury, this place performed better than the national average.
