Long-term Care Quality
Part of the reason this facility performed so well overall is that it performed well in long-term care, with a B+ in that area. It outperformed most facilities in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered in addition to this nursing home's quality nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. This combination proved to be effective as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an B+ for that area. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. There are a host of datapoints included in this area. Many of these factors relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was among the better totals we found. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. For example, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a B-. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. This place fared better than most nursing homes in the country with 49.2 percent of its patients returning home.
