Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care score. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.43137 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. Short-term care grades are typically used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services To offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was above average with 54.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing. This nursing home was given a grade of C in the category. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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 indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
