Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall performance, we awarded this facility an A for the area of inspections. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B+. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This facility provided 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was long-term care. This facility received an above average long-term care grade, with a grade of B in the category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.23 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next area, this facility was given a B- for short-term care, which we consider to be an acceptable rating. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 31.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
