Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility 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-. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outpaced most nursing homes in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in this area with 52.2 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This was one of the more impressive totals we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the above average volume of nursing hours provided by this facility, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which appears to be higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
