Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave this facility an A+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose 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
This nursing home received strong grades in the area of long-term care as well. Indeed, we awarded it one of our most elite scores in that category with a score of A. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.28571 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. This facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 1.89 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 35.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
