Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care score. We awarded them an A in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This facility was satisfactory in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered a reasonable level of care from both physical therapists and registered nurses. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 70 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. It received one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Few facilities with an overall grade in this range performed this well in multiple categories. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing score consists of a handful of datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure. Finally, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is long-term care. We awarded this facility a D in the area of long-term care, making this the nursing home's worst category grade. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of providing above average levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.22481 percent of its patients. These scores are obviously more impressive than a few of its other data points in the category. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.62 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is far less impressive than its vaccination record.
