Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home earned a short-term care grade which is better than its overall score. We gave this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade as well. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing score. This is as good as it gets in this area. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are more critical for residents needing more conventional services related to personal care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.166664 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.38 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
