Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B+. The nursing grade is based on many datapoints, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, it fared as well as any facility the nation in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We view these datapoints as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given a strong long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B+. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to providing very impressive levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 98.644066 percent of its patients. This percentage is also much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.58 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final area, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for its short-term care grade. This topped off an elite profile. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This place fared better than most nursing homes with 52.1 percent of its patients returning home.
