Facility Inspections
We also would like to emphasize the fact that this nursing home has earned nearly flawless government inspections recently. We gave them an A in this area. Inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. We assessed the levels of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.9 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on our third category, this facility received a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to providing well above average levels of nursing care, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.66 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B-. This actually ended up being this nursing home's worst category. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 28 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this place is below average.
