Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category generally have very 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores was in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech 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 number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home and found that this nursing home performed better here. In fact, this nursing home performed better than most nursing homes in the country in this area with 53.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is better than average. In calculating our nursing scores, we add additional weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, we also considered quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in many of the major metrics we focus on, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These metrics are usually accurate indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home received a B- in long-term care, which is generally a decent score. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the statistics we considered after this facility's above average nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.30458 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.51 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
