Long-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also received favorable short-term care grades this year. In fact, we awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a score of B+. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home performed better in this area than in its staffing levels. This place fared as well as just about any facility in this area with 58.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of B+ in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher scores in that category, with a B. This facility proved to be relatively strong in each category we looked at. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented with better nursing care.
