Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. On top of assessing the impressive level of care provided by nurses and other staff at this facility, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. By way of example, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.16 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. The nursing category includes quite a few datapoints, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.1 hours per resident per day. This is well above average. Lastly, this place performed well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place beat the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is short-term care. This facility was given a better than average short-term care score this year, with a grade of C. Even though this wasn't as elite as a few of its other category grades, this is still a decent score in this area. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 38.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
