Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to offering very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This figure is also significantly better than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.58 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared respectably with 48.9 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we analyzed ended up being this nursing home's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a respectable grade of B- for our nursing category. Our nursing rating features numerous factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 5.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure. Lastly, this facility fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility beat the national average. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided with better nursing care.
