Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.12664 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.62 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last area, we awarded this facility a grade of D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category score. However, we wouldn't over-emphasize a single bad area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It appears that this place was subpar in the two key staffing metrics we assessed. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 28.7 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
