Short-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home also received an elite short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. With our short-term care score, we attempt to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the country in this area with 59.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided 3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Approximately one-fourth of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours performed by skilled nurses more in determining our nursing ratings. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is a very poor grade. You should not necessarily disqualify a facility due to one poor category though. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 81.5126 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
