Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also was given a superb long-term care score. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.11321 percent of its residents, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was middle of the road since it had more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities third best category is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed most facilities in this metric with 67.4 percent of its patients returning home. This really bolstered its score in this area.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is obviously somewhat concerning. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. While this nursing home's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in a few of the qualitative areas in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its residents are suffering fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
