Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A in this area. Our short-term care grade is typically used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the overwhelming majority of facilities in the nation with 59.7 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.54751 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. This place was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.09 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded is nursing. This nursing home was given a better than average nursing score this year, with a grade of B. This facility truly does not have any weaknesses. Our nursing grade assesses many factors, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility 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.
