Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our best grades in this area, with a grade of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care grades are probably most important for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation with 56.3 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care, in which we awarded it an above average grade of B. This nursing home truly didn't have any weak spots. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.76415 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.63 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
