Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a substantially greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the country in this area with 73.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we gave this facility an B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Long-term care ratings are based on the facility's volume of nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed is nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
