Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great facility is that it earned a strong short-term care grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. It performed better than most nursing homes in the country in this area with 55.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an A. We scrutinized the levels of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provides high levels of nursing care, with an average of 3.9 hours per patient per day. This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. Finally, this facility also excelled in several quality measures we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that category, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of B. This actually ended up being this facility's worst area. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their worst grade still beats out most other nursing homes. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Although we determined this facility has an impressive amount of nursing care provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be somewhat lower than we expected. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 73.43284 percent of its patients. This is one statistic we'd love to see this facility improve. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
