Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned a very impressive grade in inspections. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.8 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 avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
We also want to emphasize the fact that this facility was given an impressive score of A- in our short-term care area. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is considered to be a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. This facility provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually an encouraging sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It performed decently in this area, with 47.7 percent of its patients able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
In our final category, we gave this facility a grade of A for its long-term care rating. This topped off an elite profile. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.67846 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. The last statistic we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 1.81 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is close to average in this area.
