Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in this category with an A. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home averages just 2.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its next most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable grade. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the amount of services offered by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 92.40506 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.84 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility is also slightly below the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last category, this facility received an acceptable short-term care score of B-. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of 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. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 51.1 percent of its patients returning home.
