Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this facility performed well overall is that it fared well in the category of inspections, with a B+ in that category. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 2.86 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home, which as an area this nursing home performed much more favorably. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 56.1 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed is nursing. In that category, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of B. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is better than what is offered by most facilities. Lastly, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. For example, it performed as well as any facility the country in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided.
