Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing score. We gave it an B+ in that area. There are a number of datapoints within this area. Many of the datapoints reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Long-term care grades assess a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final category, this facility was given a C in short-term care, which is generally a respectable score. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most meaningful for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. 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 item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 35.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
