Nurse Quality
To go along with its impressive overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our nursing score. There are several datapoints included in this area. Many of the factors are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.3 hours per patient each day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home provides. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an B+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B+. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. This nursing home's vaccination records lagged a bit behind a few of the other datapoints in this area, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 89.11917 percent of its residents. We'd like to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.71 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care, in which this facility received a grade of B. This nursing home proved to be very solid in each area we assessed. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
