We would like to note that this facility received favorable marks in the area of short-term care this year. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a B+. This proved to be the nursing home's best score and helped its profile overall. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in this area with 60.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this place's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. Inspection scores are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's inspections. Facilities that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing score analyzes several factors, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category, rendering this the facility's weakest grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 83.51255 percent of its patients. This is multiple points less than what we were hoping for. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home fared poorly with 2.97 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is nearly double the national average.
