Nurse Quality
On top of earning a great overall score, this nursing home also received an elite nursing score. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This place provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. About one-fourth of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most skilled nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours more in determining our nursing ratings. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we gave this facility an A-. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also received favorable short-term care grades this year. In fact, we gave it one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a score of B+. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is typically a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than a typical facility. This is definitely a very favorable sign. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 43.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category is long-term care, which is the final category we scored. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.84173 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 2.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't bad due to it having more complex patients.
