Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this statistic. Avoiding serious falls is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be prevented if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next best category is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure is below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, we awarded this facility a D in the area of long-term care. This was the facility's worst category score. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.32 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
