Short-term Care Quality
This facility excelled at short-term care, with an impressive grade of A in this category. This really boosted its overall score. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This place fared as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 63.5 percent of its residents returning home. Most places are below 50 percent in this metric.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. Our nursing grade weighs numerous factors. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the better figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, it appears this facility has earned respectable inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a B- in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is a poor score. This is obviously a significant concern. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. This facility's vaccination records lagged a bit behind a few of the other data points in this area, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.43931 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also alarming.
