Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Compounding its impressive performance in other areas, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its long-term care grade. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.39 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Nursing ratings are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning patients even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of C. This turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home is above the national average in terms of its volume of both physical therapy and registered nurse staffing provided to its patients. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 40.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
