Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered on top of this nursing home's quality nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. This combination proved to be effective as this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. There are a variety of factors included in this category. Most of these subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This place provided 9 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is among the highest figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We were really impressed by both of these figures. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. For example, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these areas as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Nevertheless, you shouldn't judge this facility based only on a single weak area, since it had some very strong scores in other areas. Short-term care scores are crucial for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in one of the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
