Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our nursing score is largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our stronger scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.79 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this place was just about middle of the road in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final area, this nursing home was given a respectable short-term care grade. Although this wasn't quite as impressive as several of its other scores, this is really nothing to be ashamed of. In our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 35.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
