Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Short-term care grades are critical for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in the nation with 80.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. We gave this facility a grade of A-. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing grade includes a host of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is better than what is offered by most facilities. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering falls leading to major injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home in the country. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is long-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. We wouldn't simply disregard a nursing home due to one terrible grade though. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. This facility's vaccination records weren't as strong as its nursing hours. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 86.82353 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.49 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
