Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are skilled nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care. In determining our scores, we apply more weight to care provided by more highly trained nurses such as registered nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our higher scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home provided more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 39.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, this facility received a decent long-term care rating. Although this is not quite as dominant as a few of its other category grades, this is still not a terrible score. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 97.14285 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
