Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 94.63722 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.93 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes due to some of the medical complexity of residents.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. 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' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature of this nursing home is its inspection score. In that category, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of A-. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility received a respectable short-term care grade. Although this is not nearly as dominant as some of its other grades, this is really not a major area of concern. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 26.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
