Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. We weren't able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having access to all of the deficiency data for this nursing home, it ended up being a challenge to really assess it in the area of inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's above average category grades came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This place performed as well as just about any facility in the nation with 57.7 percent of its patients returning home. Most places are below 50 percent in this area.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. There are a host of criteria within this grade. Most of these subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, this facility received a grade of B- for long-term care, which we consider to be a decent score. With our long-term care score, we focus more on the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, as well as a series of quality data points. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility provided the vaccine to only 87.7451 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.77 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
