Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This place boasts a really impressive 7.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, of which a significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. This is one of the better totals of nursing hours we found. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also performed well in many of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls which lead to major injury, this nursing home outpaced the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Among its many dominant scores, this nursing home received a top-shelf short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in that area. Short-term care ratings are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. This place performed respectably with 46.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also received top notch inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home received a B-. This actually proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. This is nevertheless not a major area of concern. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the data points we considered in addition to this nursing home's above average nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.6 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was not quite as favorable than its other scores in this category.
