Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a great overall grade, this facility received an A+ in our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes with 68.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a nearly flawless government inspection. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with an A+. This is one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. The nursing rating consists of several factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Out of this total, nearly one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most highly skilled levels of nurses. Lastly, this place also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is long-term care, which turned out to be a weak spot for this facility. We gave this facility a grade of D in the area of long-term care, leaving this as the facility's weakest grade. We'd nevertheless recommend that you consider all of a facility's category grades. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Due to its grade in this category, it is surprising to learn that this facility received good marks in both nursing hours and its vaccination records. In fact, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.29578 percent of its residents. This percentage is actually better than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility also wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 1.82 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not bad due to it having some more complex patients.
