Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of achievements, it also was given a very favorable long-term care score. We awarded them a strong grade of A in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.65072 percent of its patients. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.86 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this place is just about middle of the road in this area.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provides only 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Finally, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was short-term care, which was this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. Naturally, this score pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is generally a solid assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. In this place's case, we found that it provides fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 43.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
