Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in this area, with an A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility performed better in this area than in its staffing levels. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the nation with 60.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded a strong long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a score of B. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the very impressive nursing hours and other staffing provided by this facility, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the next area, this nursing home was given a decent nursing grade of C. There are many criteria within this area. Many of the factors are tied to staffing levels. This place provides an impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a greater quantity of nursing than that provided by most facilities. Finally, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these data points as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
