Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our inspection grades are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B+. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an impressive figure which typically corresponds with quality care. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients sustaining falls leading to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in the state. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category is long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. In determining our long-term care ratings, we look at the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the statistics we considered on top of this nursing home's quality nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.23 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next category is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in this category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 35 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
