Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its inspection grade. This is far better than its overall grade. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. The nursing category consists of a handful of subcategories, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. Based on the data, it looks like this nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours per patient on a daily basis. This is more nursing care than most facilities offer. In calculating our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as good measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we graded is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In our short-term care score, we try to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was respectable in this metric with 46.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B- for the area. In determining these long-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to offering favorable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.164345 percent of its residents. This figure is better than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was not quite as favorable. We found that this place had 2.29 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
