Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspection category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down deficiency data for this facility. Without having information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it was a challenge to really evaluate it in the inspections category.
Nurse Quality
Building on its strong performance in other areas, we gave this nursing home an B+ for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received an impressive short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. 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. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It performed decently in this area, with 48.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's worst area. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. In computing our long-term care grades, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. With 1.97 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is not too far off the national average.
