Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. It performed as well as any facility the country in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on its inspections. We gave it an A- for that area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.84114 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. The last datapoint we looked at is its hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.38 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was close to the middle of the pack since it had more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B-. This was this nursing home's worst category. This is still not a poor grade. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 25.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
