Facility Inspections
On top of having a decent overall grade, we also want to point out that this nursing home received favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was above average in this area with 53 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
An additional reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing score. When computing a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final category, this nursing home was given a decent long-term care grade of C. Long-term care scores are pivotal for people needing personal care. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated just 66.99267 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was also below average. We found that this nursing home had 2.39 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents
