Facility Inspections
To pair with a strong overall score, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for our inspection category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its first-rate assessment, this nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care grade, with a score of A. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country in this area with 74.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. When calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 5.6 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other facility provides. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B-. This actually is this nursing home's weakest category. This is nevertheless not the end of the world. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. On top of offering above average levels of nursing care, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
