Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home also received first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so well is that it was given a strong long-term care score. In fact, long-term care turned out to be its second best category score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a score of A. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.13665 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. In determining our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This place performed admirably in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care, making this the nursing home's worst grade. Our short-term care grades are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It appears that this nursing home was subpar in the two key staffing metrics we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 30.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
