Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation with 58.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was given impressive long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more impressive scores in that category, with a grade of B. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This nursing home's vaccination data were not as impressive as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 85.94249 percent of its patients. We would love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. The last statistic we looked at is its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 2.83 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed is nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a decent grade in this area. Our nursing rating weighs many data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also weighed some quality-based assessments. This nursing home performed well in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place outpaced the national average. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented with better nursing care.
