Facility Inspections
To pair with a favorable overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third category, we gave this facility a grade of A- for its long-term care score. This is a superb grade. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.59155 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.97 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of B-. While this ended up being its poorest category score, this is nevertheless not a major area of concern. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 41.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
