Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. It doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also want to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was given a strong grade of A- in our short-term care area. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. It outperformed the majority of facilities in the country with 55.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a favorable long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.49624 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the last category, this facility was given an extremely favorable nursing grade. We gave it a grade of B+ in that area, wrapping up one of our finer profiles. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
