Long-term Care Quality
On top of being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really performed well in long-term care, where it earned an A-. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 83.595505 percent of its patients, which is somewhat less than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. When calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this category. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 37.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
