Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this place also received top notch government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our best scores in that category, with a grade of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an B+ for that category. Nursing grades are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This place fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded an impressive long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.81517 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. While it had 2.48 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the middle of the pack since it had some more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of C in the area. Our short-term care scores are arguably most meaningful for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 30.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
