Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this facility also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our best scores in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a first-rate long-term care score. This actually turned out to be this facility's second strongest category score. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.39024 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.37 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a score of B. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is more often than not a solid assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This place performed respectably with 48.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing, in which this facility was given a grade of B. Believe it or not, this proved to be this facility's least impressive area. A nursing home is doing something right when their poorest score still is superior to most facilities. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
