Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its top-shelf profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is frequently a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It fared as well as just about any nursing home in Kentucky in this area with 67.7 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also performed well in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.25668 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. This place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.29 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed was nursing. This facility was awarded a very good nursing grade this year, with a grade of C. Although this was not as impressive as some of its other scores, this is still an acceptable grade in this area. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in some of the major data points we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
