Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing ratings are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. With 4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home was above the national average. Finally, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home the country in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth category we graded is short-term care, where this facility received a grade of B+. This wrapped up a very favorable profile. Few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in all four categories. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
