Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a very strong long-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be this facility's second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.81785 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. This nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.44 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
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 calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive metric which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded an above average short-term care rating in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this isn't quite as strong as a few of its other scores, this remains a respectable grade in that category. Our short-term care ratings are likely most important for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Remarkably, this facility provides its residents with at least 50% more physical therapist hours per week than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 38.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this is below average.
