Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. The nursing rating includes a host of factors. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Compounding its strong accomplishments in other areas, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation with 57.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility has earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a B+. This topped off a very strong report card. Not many nursing homes received a B+ or better in each of our categories. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.55556 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the average nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 2.37 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
