Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall performance, we gave this place an A+ for the area of inspections. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility fared well in our long-term care category. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of A- for that area, which happens to be one of our most favorable grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. After looking at the impressive nursing care provided by this facility, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 98.7013 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be effective as this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. While it had 2.07 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best category turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. 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. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this metric with 49.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed was nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in most of these data points, with good scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
