Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a quality overall grade, this nursing home also earned excellent health inspections recently. We gave it one of our highest grades in that area, with an A. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. 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 rating is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility offers 3.7 hours of nursing care per patient each day, of which more than one hour was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled nurses. In calculating our nursing grades, we attach more weight to hours provided by registered nurses. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. Adding to its superb resume, this facility also performed well in this area. In fact, we gave it a of A- for that area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.23077 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.85 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care. We gave this facility one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B. While this is not as strong as several of this facility's other grades, it is still a positive grade. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is that it offers more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses to each patient. This is the gold standard in this area, as it's approximately 50% higher than a typical place's level of registered nurse staffing. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 37.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
