Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also received A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections are virtually perfect. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Compounding its elite assessments in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its short-term care score. Our short-term care grades are likely most meaningful for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility performed better in this area than in its staffing levels. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 70.4 percent of its residents returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. Contributing to its top-shelf resume, this facility also excelled in that category. In fact, we gave it a of A for the category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.65 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing, where this nursing home received a grade of B. Believe it or not, this was this nursing home's weakest category. A facility could be doing a lot worse when it's worst score still rates higher than most facilities. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
