Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. This boosted its overall profile. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than the typical nursing home. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Nevada in this area with 66.5 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This place provided 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is among the better totals in Nevada. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This really is one of just a few weak points on a quality report card. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After looking at nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Due to its grade in this category, we were surprised to find that this facility fared reasonably well in both of these statistics. In fact, this nursing home vaccinated 96.55173 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which appears to be higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
