Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility also performed well in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Very few nursing homes fared as well in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was elite in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Very few facilities received a better grade in this area. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 60.1 percent of its residents returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this metric.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided 3.5 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 well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is long-term care. This facility received a strong nursing rating this year, with a grade of B. Even though this is not as good as some of its other grades, this is still one of our more impressive grades in that area. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades.
