Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared this well in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without having information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being difficult to assess this nursing home in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable short-term care scores this year. In fact, we awarded it one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
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 computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a solid grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's worst category. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 94.318184 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.14 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes based on the medical complexity of residents.
