Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place also excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Not many facilities performed better in that area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility earned an excellent nursing score. We gave it an B+ in that category. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it was given a score of B. It outpaced most facilities in this category. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was above average in this area with 51.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this category. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 96.77419 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.6 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
