Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall rating, this facility received an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.25926 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 3.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of residents.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing grades are largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is short-term care. This facility was awarded a better than average short-term care score in our assessment, with a C. Although this wasn't quite as strong as many of its other scores, this is still an acceptable grade for that category. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 41.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
