Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Nursing grades are primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home was above the national average. Finally, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care. This facility was awarded an impressive short-term care score, with a grade of B+ in this area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is more often than not a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. 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 assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. It performed decently in this area, with 46.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this nursing home was awarded a very strong long-term care rating. Even though this wasn't as strong as some of its other scores, this remains one of the better grades we offer. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.62 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
