Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this very important area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 5.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an extremely impressive statistic which typically correlates with higher quality care. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Building on its first-rate assessment, this nursing home also was given an excellent long-term care grade, with a score of A. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to offering very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This percentage is also much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.87 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category, we gave this nursing home an A+ for its short-term care grade. This topped off an elite report card. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place performed decently in this area, with 47.1 percent of its residents returning home.
