Facility Inspections
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home received an excellent inspection report. Consequently, it received one of our highest scores in that area with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor dings are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Compounding its strong accomplishments in other areas, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its short-term care grade. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 64.2 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home provided 5.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an extremely impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Finally, this place was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a B-. While this ended up being its worst category grade, this is still not a terrible score. In determining these long-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. This nursing home's vaccination data weren't as strong as its nursing hours data. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 57.96178 percent of its patients. We would love to see some improvement in this area next year. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
