Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have very 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The third highest area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was respectable in this metric with 48.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing. We awarded this facility a C in that category. Our nursing grade includes a host of factors. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides only 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
