Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Our inspection grades are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. With 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of C. This turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. In forming these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 11.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
