Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This place provides only 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, we also baked a few quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This nursing home was relatively weak in a few of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are usually reliable measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
Our final category is short-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is typically a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 40.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
