Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Very few nursing homes fared this well in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. With 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this place surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls which lead to serious injury, this nursing home performed as well as any facility in the nation. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to patient-friendly nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination record was first-rate also. Indeed, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.73 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was this facility's worst category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a respectable grade of B- in short-term care. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 41.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
