Long-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the very impressive nursing care provided by this nursing home, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 4.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some facilities due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive scores, this nursing home earned an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it an B+ in that area. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering falls which lead to major injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in the state. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility earned a B for its inspections rating. This is an above average grade in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in that area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging 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. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 29.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
