Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the area of long-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In the area of long-term care, we look at the amount of care provided by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 99.484535 percent of its residents, which is a very solid total. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a decent grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is typically a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. It performed more favorably in this area. We found it was above average in this metric with 52.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Our next area is nursing, in which we gave this nursing home a C in this category. Our nursing score weighs quite a few factors, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 3.4 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 reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
