Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially want to note its excellent short-term care score. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably more important for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in this area with 57.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. It received one of our highest grades in that area with an B+. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed as well in multiple categories. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. The nursing rating analyzes many factors, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is among the more impressive totals in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We were really impressed by these figures. On top of offering high levels of care, this facility also fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is long-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to providing solid levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.06061 percent of its patients. This figure is better than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.26 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
