Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless 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 scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher scores. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing score is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility averages 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C for short-term care, which is an acceptable rating. Our short-term care scores are arguably most critical for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
