Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received high marks in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best category is its short-term care score, where it was given a B-. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is more often than not a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. 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 final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, which is this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in that area. Naturally, this grade hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. The nursing score weighs many data points, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. While this nursing home did not excel in the area of nursing hours, it actually surprised us in some of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This facility was above average in this datapoint, which was one redeeming quality we found in this area.
