Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Few facilities fared better in this category. If it was not for this area, this nursing home's overall grade would have been much worse. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is often a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Washington in this area with 68.7 percent of its residents returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections. It received one of our best grades in that category with an B+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing grade consists of quite a few datapoints, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest category is long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.22222 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. While it had 2.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad since it had some more complex patients.
