Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall rating, this nursing home received an A+ inspection rating. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this category. In forming our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This nursing home offered more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 49.4 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.41263 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored is nursing, where this facility was given a B-. This is this facility's worst category. This is still a middle of the pack score. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. 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 some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these data points as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
