Long-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we wanted to point out its excellent long-term care score. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.69697 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its next best category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is more often than not a meaningful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This place performed respectably in this metric with 48.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded is nursing, where this nursing home was given a B-. This actually is this nursing home's worst area. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed admirably in this statistic. Avoiding major falls is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be prevented if a facility offers enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
