Nurse Quality
To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for our nursing score. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. With 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Finally, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, it performed as well as any facility the state in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these areas as good measures of the caliber of nursing care offered.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the third area, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is typically a useful measure of a facility's rehabilitation. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that this facility was better than average in this metric with 50.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is long-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of B-. This ended up being this facility's weakest area. Our long-term care ratings are more important for people needing more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as strong as its nursing hours. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 77.94562 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
