Short-term Care Quality
On top of faring well overall, this facility received high marks in the category of short-term care as well. As a result, it received our highest score in that category with an A+. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. 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 residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes with 66.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's government inspections. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing grade weighs a number of factors. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. About a quarter of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours performed by skilled nurses more in calculating our nursing ratings. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst area. We gave this facility a D in that category. However, we wouldn't judge this facility based only on this area, as it received multiple very strong scores in other areas. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.765434 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.82 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility did not fare quite as well.
