Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this nursing home excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.479164 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.8 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this area, this figure can be skewed for some facilities due to some of the medical complexity of residents.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections proved to be one of its best categories. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing score is based on numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored in some quality-based measures. This nursing home performed well in a few of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home outpaced the national average. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home an acceptable score in this category, with a C. Although this was not on par with some of its other grades, it is still not a bad grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was respectable in this area with 48.2 percent of its residents returning home.
