Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for inspections. Our inspection scores are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A. Not many facilities performed better in this area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the senior population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.97 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most nursing homes due to it having more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent grade in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. With our short-term care score, we try to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this metric with 54.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed proved to be this facility's weakest area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of C in nursing. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
