Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category grades came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our more positive scores in that category, with a score of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 94.98608 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. The nursing grade consists of several factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is not a bad grade in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. 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 last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 39.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
