Long-term Care Quality
This facility received an elite long-term care score. We gave this facility an A in this area, which really boosted its overall score. For long-term care residents, 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 residents. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 80.8642 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.51 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a very favorable inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade proved to be its second best category. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. There are a number of factors within this grade. Most of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored in some quality-based metrics. This facility scored well in some of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place beat the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated was short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms 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. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 39.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this place is below average.
