Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a great overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for that category, which is one of our best grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B+. The nursing score includes several components, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.8 hours per resident each day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other place provides. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more positive grades in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 41 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a B-. This actually is this nursing home's weakest category. This is still a middle of the pack score. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. This facility's vaccination records weren't as strong as its nursing hours data. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.83495 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.92 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
