Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Not many facilities fared better in that category. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given strong scores in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with a score of A-. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.29352 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.52 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
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. The nursing rating is based on many factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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 datapoints as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a decent score in that area, with a B-. Although this wasn't as dominant as some of this nursing home's other scores, it is still not a terrible score. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 28.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
