Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for the area of inspections. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. You really can not do much better than a deficiency-free inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our nursing score is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is far better than what is offered by most facilities. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and a system of turning patients at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our stronger scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. This nursing home's vaccination statistics weren't as strong as its nursing hours data. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 89.156624 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement in this area next year. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. In forming these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
