Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care grade. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. This nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third most favorable category ended up being its short-term care score, where it received a grade of C. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. 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. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 43.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded is nursing. We gave this facility a grade of D for our nursing category, leaving this as the facility's weakest area. We weighed the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. Although this facility's nursing hours were below average, it surprised us in a few of the qualitative areas in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its patients appear to be suffering fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
