Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we awarded it an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate 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
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so favorably is that it was given a very impressive long-term care score. Indeed, long-term care turned out to be its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 90.84967 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was close to the national average since it had some more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given a favorable short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. Short-term care scores are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. This nursing home was given a very good nursing grade in our assessment, with a grade of B. This facility really doesn't have any weak grades. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
