Nurse Quality
In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. With 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients sustaining falls which lead to major injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in Tennessee. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was superb in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Even though we determined this nursing home had an above average amount of nursing care provided by nurses aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be a bit slightly lower than we anticipated. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 83.962265 percent of its residents. This is a figure we'd love to see this nursing home improve on. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth category we graded was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B+. This wrapped up a very impressive report card. Very few facilities received a B+ or higher in in each area we assessed. Short-term care grades are typically used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
