Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. Our nursing grade includes several factors, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a top-shelf long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being this nursing home's third most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.25 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. Although this is its poorest category grade, this is nevertheless a quality score. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This score is more often than not a useful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 37.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home rather than remaining at the nursing home permanently.
