Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this category with a grade of A. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to note that this nursing home received an B in our nursing category. Our nursing score is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining falls leading to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in the state.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 42.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was awarded a C for this category. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the impressive nursing hours provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.95 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
