Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also performed well in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities fared better in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in North Carolina in this area with 59.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the significant amount of nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.14893 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
In the last area, we gave this nursing home a A+ for our nursing rating. This completed an elite profile. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 5.6 hours per patient each day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other facility offers. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
