Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. When determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on our next category, this nursing home was awarded a top-shelf short-term care grade. In fact, it received a score of A- in that category. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This facility offered more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. This is what we like to find when assessing a facility in this category. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. It fared better than most facilities in the country in this area with 52.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a B. Believe it or not, this proved to be this facility's worst category. A facility is doing something right when their worst grade still outperforms most nursing homes. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.941795 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. This nursing home was also able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
