Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it is a challenge to really evaluate it in the inspections category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility performed better in this statistic. This place performed better than most facilities in this area with 54.5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care, where this facility received a B- in this category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing. We gave this facility a B- in that category. When determining our nursing grades, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed a few nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.
