Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. It performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 54.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing score weighs a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Utah in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home received a respectable long-term care score. While this is not as impressive as a few of its other category grades, this is truly not a terrible score. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.78049 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
