Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 81.69935 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. This facility was also able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.36 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also earned a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
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. Our nursing grade is based on several subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is short-term care. In this area, we gave this nursing home a strong grade of B. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This place performed better than most facilities in this area with 51.2 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents ever return home.
