Long-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really performed well in our long-term care category, where it earned an impressive grade of A+. Few facilities fared better in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 63.45515 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility received top notch inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of A. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest area came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In our short-term care category, we strive to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home and discovered this was this facility's strongest datapoint within this area. It performed well in this metric with 59.2 percent of its patients returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final category, we awarded this facility a D for the area of nursing. This is the facility's weakest category rating. Unfortunately, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. Although this nursing home's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in some of the qualitative areas in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its patients are suffering fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
