Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Long-term care grades are typically used to measure a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.36 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was not quite as favorable than its other scores in this category.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 2.9 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Although this place ranked poorly in terms of the quantity of nursing care provided, it surprisingly performed admirably in some of our quality-based metrics. It was above average in two of the subcategories we assess, with positive reviews for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this nursing home received a respectable short-term care grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a measure for comparing 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 last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found it was above average in this area with 51.7 percent of its patients returning home.
