Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing grades are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This was one of the better figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any facility in the country when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given a strong short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One reason for this facility's strong grade in this category is that it offers more care from registered nurses than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 42.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is long-term care. We gave this facility a decent grade in that area, with a B-. Although this isn't as favorable as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless not the end of the world. With our long-term care category, we focus on the sheer quantity of services provided by a facility, along with a handful of qualitative data points. After considering the above average volume of nursing hours and other staffing provided by this facility, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which appears to be higher than many nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
