Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it was awarded a strong long-term care score. Indeed, long-term care ended up being its second highest category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.41 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This place performed admirably in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is short-term care, which was this facility's weakest area. It received a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a bit of a concern. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this place's case, it looks like it offers fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 38 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
