Facility Inspections
To pair with a favorable overall score, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
On the list of its many elite grades, this nursing home was given a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a score of A in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. The nursing score includes many subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is better than what is offered by most nursing homes. Finally, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. It performed as well as any facility the state in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. This facility was awarded a very good nursing score this year, with a B. Although this wasn't as strong as some of its other grades, this is still one of the more impressive grades in that category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. It outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation with 51.9 percent of its residents returning home.
