Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category was its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.177086 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.44 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its third most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is often a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 41.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our next area, this nursing home received a decent nursing score of C. Our nursing score assesses many components, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused metrics. We like to look at the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
