Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes fared as well in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of providing well above average levels of nursing care, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.76303 percent of its residents. This figure is also significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 4.28 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some facilities based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning our third category, this facility was given first-rate short-term care score. In fact, it received a grade of A in that category. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation with 61.5 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed was nursing. We gave this facility one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Even though this isn't as strong as some of this nursing home's other scores, it is still a perfectly acceptable score. In computing our nursing grades, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is far more care than what is provided by most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
