Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it was given a favorable long-term care score. In fact, this ended up being its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B+. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the well above average quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the facility's vaccination data. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.63503 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 2.65 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which was among the higher totals we found. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is usually a reliable indicator of how carefully a nursing home's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is short-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 10.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
