Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility also performed well in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few facilities performed as well in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. It doesn't look like we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without all of the information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it was difficult to fully grade it in the inspections category.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a very impressive long-term care score. This actually is its second best category grade. In that category, this facility received a grade of A-. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 97.899155 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.16 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and having a policy of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed ended up being this facility's weakest category. However, even in its worst category we still gave it a respectable grade of B- for short-term care. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational 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. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 29.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
