Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it received one of our best scores in that area with a grade of A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. It doesn't appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 92.52669 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. This facility was given a very positive short-term care grade, with a B+ in the area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this area with 54.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a decent nursing rating. While this wasn't as impressive as a few of its other scores, this is really a middle of the pack score. When determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed a few nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning residents at least once a day.
