Facility Inspections
To pair with a favorable overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor dings are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category scores came in the area of long-term care. We awarded them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a grade of B+. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. The last datapoint we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2.14 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B in this area. In computing these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared better than most facilities in this area with 53.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, less than half of their short-term patients return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing, where this nursing home was given a grade of B-. Although this ended up being its lowest category score, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing scores also weigh quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed above average in this area. This is generally a reliable measure of how carefully a place's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and superior safety protocols are in place.
