Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this place one of our better scores in long-term care, with an impressive grade of A. This is a much better grade than its overall score, which was decent but not elite. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. This facility's vaccination records were not as favorable as its nursing hours data. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.10989 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in determining our rating in this category. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed admirably in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is a decent grade in this area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is often a solid assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
