Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given impressive grades in the category of short-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it one of our highest grades in that area with a area of A-. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. 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 vast majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 62.3 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. The nursing grade features a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. According to its staffing data, this nursing home provided an average of 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which was above the national average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed admirably in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was long-term care. This facility was given a C for the category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the factors we considered on top of this facility's impressive nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.85058 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.3 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
