Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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 facility also received a grade of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is often a fair assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. One of this facility's strengths is physical therapy. We found that it provides at least 50% more hours with physical therapists than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. It performed better than most facilities in this area with 54.5 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its third highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In determining these long-term care grades, we quantify the facility's personal care services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to this facility's above average nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.04762 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Our final category is nursing, in which we awarded this nursing home a C in this area. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This place provides 4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is better than average. In calculating our grades, we apply additional weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered nurses. Finally, this nursing home was relatively weak in some of the areas we look at, with subpar scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
