Facility Inspections
To pair with a strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional reason we assessed this facility so favorably is that it received an A+ short-term care score. This is just about as dominant as it gets in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average facility. This is a great sign. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in North Carolina in this area with 64.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an A+ for its long-term care score. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.409836 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.19 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
In the last area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. This wrapped up a first-rate profile. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This place provides an incredible 4.6 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is far more care than what is provided by most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
