Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its high-end resume, this nursing home also performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, it received a score of A- in that area. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.006645 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.07 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed is short-term care. This facility was given an above average short-term care score, with a grade of B+ in the area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is more often than not a fair assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 52.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility received a respectable nursing score. While this isn't quite as strong as a few of its other grades, this is truly not the end of the world. The nursing score assesses many factors, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused statistics. We like to look at the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these problems.
