Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in the country in this area with 70 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also received a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A-. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. We weighed the levels of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This facility provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which was among the better figures we found. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining falls leading to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in the state. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is this nursing home's poorest category. However, even its weakest link would be a highlight for most nursing homes. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B in long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. On top of offering well above average levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.57265 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.85 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this area, this figure may be skewed for some facilities based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
