Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an impressive long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.06542 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.94 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is just about middle of the pack in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed turned out to be this facility's worst category. However, even in its worst category we still gave it an acceptable grade of C in short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 31 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
