Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a quality nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections is its best category. In this area, we awarded it an A. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent 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
This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. On top of providing very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.10913 percent of its residents. This figure is also much better than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher grades in that category, with a grade of B. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most important for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. It performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 54.1 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents return home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing. This nursing home was given a B- in this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the higher totals we found. Lastly, our nursing grades also weigh quality measures, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this metric. This is usually a good indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
