Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as mentioned above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care rating. We gave them an A+ in this category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 73.15436 percent of its residents, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.83 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this area, this figure can be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the medical complexity of residents.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A+. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing score looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We gave this facility a grade of D in this area. Naturally, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most important for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, it looks like it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 37 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
