Nurse Quality
It should also be noted that this nursing home's nursing score outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its nursing grade. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient more frequently.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we gave this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 47.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is a fair grade in this category. Our long-term care ratings are more important for folks in need of more traditional assistance associated with personal care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 75.27273 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
