Facility Inspections
To pair with a favorable overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspection category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also fared very well in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to elite nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination record was top notch as well. Indeed, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.47 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a favorable short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. Our short-term care scores are arguably more meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. 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. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 53.4 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The fourth area we analyzed is nursing, where this nursing home received a grade of B+. This completed a first-rate profile. Few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in every category. There are numerous criteria within this category. Most of these factors reflect staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Finally, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
