Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having access to complete information regarding deficiencies, it is difficult to assess it in terms of this category.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B. It outperformed most facilities in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some facilities due to some of the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its third most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 34.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents return home so this place is below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final area, this facility was awarded a C for nursing, which is an acceptable grade. Nursing scores are mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in some of the data points we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
