Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize that this nursing home has received near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a top-shelf long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being this nursing home's second strongest category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received an impressive short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B+. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility performed better in this area than in its staffing levels. This place fared as well as just about any nursing home in the country in this area with 61.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded was nursing, where this nursing home received a B-. This turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. This is nevertheless not a poor grade. There are several data points within this area. Many of the criteria are tied to nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
