Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Only a select group of nursing homes performed more favorably in this area. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Although we determined this nursing home has an impressive quantity of nursing care provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be somewhat low. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 78.21782 percent of its residents. This is a statistic we would like to see this nursing home improve on. The last datapoint we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 2.73 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with residents, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provided 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, we baked a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major metrics we considered, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home received a decent short-term care score. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other grades, this is really not a bad grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 33 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
