Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this area with a grade of A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. Nursing ratings are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home North Carolina in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities third best category was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this area. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last category we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category. Despite several decent scores in other categories, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we wanted to make a note of it. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 98.96373 percent of its residents, which is an above average statistic. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
