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 nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per patient daily. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care. In computing our grades, we apply additional weight to care provided by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Facility Inspections
Turning to inspections, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A for that category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a first-rate short-term care grade. This actually ended up being its third strongest category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. One of this facility's strengths is registered nurse hours. This facility offers more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed proved to be this facility's worst category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a decent grade of B- in long-term care. With our long-term care grade, we assess the sheer volume of services offered by a facility, along with a series of quality metrics. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.3 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
