Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A in this category. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be a real strength for this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 56.5 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides an incredible 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is much better than what is offered by most places. Finally, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this place performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and a policy of turning patients at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the well above average volume of care provided by nurses and other staff at this facility, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. By way of example, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.80916 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.7 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
In the final category we assessed, this facility earned a decent grade in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a B for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
