Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in nursing, where it received an A. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a grade of B. With our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational 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 patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care, where we gave it a strong grade of B. This nursing home truly did not have any weak spots. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.69 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
