Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an B. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents sustaining falls leading to serious injury, this place performed as well as any nursing home in the nation.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to point out that this facility was given positive long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a B. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 3.1 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this category, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. Of course, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall profile a bit. With our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this place's case, we found that it provides fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 26.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
