Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in this category with an A-. Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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
In addition, we also wanted to note that this facility was given impressive long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our higher grades in this area, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the facility's second best grade. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 89.07563 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.19 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Our last category is nursing, where we gave this nursing home a C in that category. Our nursing rating includes several subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility averages 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
