Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility received an A+ inspection grade. This score is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care score. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 69.62963 percent of its patients. This is slightly below what we expected. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. While it had 2.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the middle of the pack due to it having more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also considered quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility was above average in several of the major areas we assessed, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These statistics are generally good measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care, in which this facility was given a C. While this wound up being its worst category grade, this is nevertheless not the end of the world. In calculating our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home and discovered this was this facility's strongest datapoint within this area. It fared well in this area with 57.7 percent of its residents returning home.
