Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in short-term care. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. It outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 67.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This was one of the better figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this place was also above average in several of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. For example, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These datapoints are generally reliable measures of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care, where this facility received a B. While this ended up being its least impressive category rating, this is nevertheless a quality score. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered after this facility's impressive nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.166664 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for seniors. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 2.23 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most facilities since it had more complex patients.
