Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk 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
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite long-term care score. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of A-. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After assessing the significant amount of nursing hours provided by this nursing home, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.19168 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. This combination proved to be successful as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. When computing our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. With 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly turning residents to avoid bed sores.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded turned out to be this facility's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a decent grade of B- for short-term care. In computing our short-term care scores, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is typically a solid assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It was respectable in this metric with 46 percent of its residents returning home.
