Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular nursing home provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This was one of the higher totals we found. In addition, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of offering high levels of care, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. It performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its fine resume, this nursing home also was given a strong short-term care grade, with a score of A. In forming our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This place is above average both in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in this area with 55 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The fourth area we assessed was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of A-. This topped off a first-rate report card. Very few nursing homes received an A- or higher in every category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to very favorable nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination records was superb as well. In fact, this facility vaccinated 97.3173 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
