Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection grade. This is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility performed well in our long-term care category. We awarded them an exemplary grade of A+ in this area. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. The last datapoint we assessed is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic. This is usually an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed ended up being this facility's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of C in our short-term care category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 39.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
