Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. We weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
On the list of its many high-end scores, this nursing home was given a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a score of A in that area. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing grade features a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Georgia in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed proved to be this nursing home's poorest category. However, even its worst category would likely be a highlight for many nursing homes. In fact, we awarded it a strong grade of B in short-term care. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was respectable in this area with 46.5 percent of its patients returning home.
