Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its elite resume, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care area. In fact, it received a score of A- in that area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. It performed better than most facilities in this area with 55.6 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, less than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are with patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home also performed admirably in the long-term care category. We awarded it a grade of B+ for this area. This rounded out a very impressive profile. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.4186 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.82 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
