Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this nursing home especially excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes fared better in that category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. 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
Among this facility's other strengths is its dominant long-term care score. It received one of our more impressive grades in that category, with a score of A. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. This facility was given a very favorable short-term care score. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. 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. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. It fared as well as just about any facility in Rhode Island in this area with 57 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility was awarded a respectable nursing score. Although this was not as good as some of its other scores, this is truly not a terrible score. Our nursing grade includes a handful of data points, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed admirably in this metric.
