Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. The last datapoint we looked at was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.74 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the road in this area.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. We awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our best grades. This is one of the few nursing homes with an overall score in this range which earned multiple category grades this high. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of the nurses. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this area. This is typically a good indicator of how carefully a place's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and superior safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in that category. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
