Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.84 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the road in this area.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing grade features a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of C. This is this nursing home's worst category. This is still nothing to be ashamed of. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more important for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. 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 final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 25.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
