Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its superb resume, this facility also performed well in our long-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a score of A for that category. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as impressive as its nursing hours. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.690475 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 4.69 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third area, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for its short-term care grade. This is a very impressive grade. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is frequently a useful assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It was above average in this area with 54.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed is nursing, where this facility received a grade of B. Although this proved to be its worst category score, this is still a quality grade. Our nursing category is based on a handful of components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offers high levels of nursing care, with an average of 3.9 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
