Facility Inspections
On top of earning a strong overall grade, this facility also received excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our highest grades in that category, with an A. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. This actually is its second best category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A-. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered after this nursing home's impressive nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. There are several subcategories within this category. Many of these subcategories reflect staffing levels. This facility offers an extremely impressive 5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is among the higher totals in the nation. Finally, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this place performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is usually an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and a protocol of turning patients more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was this nursing home's worst area. Nevertheless, even its lowest point would be a strength for most facilities. In fact, we gave it a favorable grade of B in our short-term care category. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. This facility was satisfactory in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered a reasonable level of care from both physical therapists and registered nurses. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 40.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
