Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its impressive profile, this facility also excelled in our long-term care area. In fact, we gave it a score of A in that category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.95 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is just about middle of the road in this area.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing grades are mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was this nursing home's worst area. However, even its worst category would actually be a highlight for many nursing homes. We gave it an above average grade of B for short-term care. In determining these short-term care scores, 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 objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This place performed respectably in this area with 46.6 percent of its patients returning home.
