Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our highest grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Remarkably, this nursing home provides its residents at least one and a half times as many physical therapist hours per week than the typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation with 55.8 percent of its residents able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.7319 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we looked at is nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is not a bad grade in this category. In calculating our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing scores also weigh quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this area. This is often a reliable indicator of how carefully a nursing home's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses and better safety protocols are used.
