Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in that area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category grades came in the area of long-term care. We gave them one of our more positive scores in that area, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This place provides only 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Although this place didn't have as many nursing hours as many of the other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of avoiding major falls. This is often a reliable indicator of how carefully a nursing home's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is not a bad grade in this category. In determining these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. This facility was satisfactory in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered a reasonable level of care from both physical therapists and registered nurses. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It performed decently in this area, with 48.1 percent of its patients returning home.
