Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled at short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. This really boosted its overall profile. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility performed better in this area than in its staffing levels. This place performed as well as just about any facility in the country in this area with 56 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing scores are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented with better nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid inspection report this year as well, with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a score of B-. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was long-term care. This facility received a B- in the category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.
