Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing actually ended up being its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided 6.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which was among the higher figures we found. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining falls which lead to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home in the nation.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility was awarded an above average short-term care grade, with a grade of B in this area. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a decent grade in that area, with a B-. Although this was not as strong as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless not a poor grade. Long-term care grades are typically used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of providing above average levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.17 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
