Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. The nursing grade weighs several factors, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is far more care than what is offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. For example, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its first-rate short-term care score. We gave them one of our strongest grades in that area, with a score of A-. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. It fared better than most nursing homes with 55.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home was given a very positive long-term care grade, with a grade of B in the category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of really impressive nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination records was first-rate as well. In fact, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.4 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to the final category of inspections, this was not one of this facility's better grades. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspections. We gave this facility a C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. To our surprise, this facility was hit with a category J through K deficiency, which are some of the worst possible categories of deficiencies. This usually tells you that inspectors found a deficiency which placed resident safety or health in imminent jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
