Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a great overall score, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent government inspection reports. We awarded it a grade of A+ for this category, which is one of our highest grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem 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
This facility was awarded impressive scores in the category of long-term care as well. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 94.93671 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.1 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was close to the middle of the pack due to it having some more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This facility provided more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a facility in this category. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 44.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this is below average.
Nurse Quality
Our next area is nursing, where we awarded this nursing home a C in this category. Nursing grades are primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, this nursing home was relatively weak in some of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
