Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with a grade of A+. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to note the fact that this nursing home was given a first-rate grade of A- in our long-term care area. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as favorable some of its other datapoints in this area, such as its nursing hours. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 77.818184 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement in this area next year. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.53 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this area. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more critical for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. One reason for this nursing home's strong rating in short-term care is that it offers a substantially greater volume of physical therapist hours than a typical facility. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. This place was above average with 51.7 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth category, this facility received a decent nursing score. Although this isn't nearly as elite as some of its other grades, this is really not a bad grade. Our nursing score considers a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. Based on the data, it looks like this place provides an impressive 4 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than most facilities offer. In calculating our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
