Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared this well in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a score of A for our short-term care grade. In our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This place provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Tennessee in this area with 61.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade features a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. With 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care. We awarded this facility a decent grade in this area, with a grade of C. Even though this is not on par with some of its other grades, it is still not a terrible score. In determining our long-term care scores, we assess the assistance with daily living offered to a facility's patients. While we determined this facility had a favorable quantity of nursing care provided by nurses aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be a bit low. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 89.565216 percent of its patients. This is one figure we'd love to see this nursing home improve on. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
