Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this place really excelled in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Not many facilities performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we awarded it one of our stronger scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.09677 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.61 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The third highest category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In determining these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was a much stronger area for this facility. We found that it outperformed most facilities in this metric with 57.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the final category, we awarded this nursing home a D in nursing. This was the facility's weakest category score. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. There are quite a few criteria within this area. Many of the criteria are tied to nurse staffing. This facility provided just 1.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. While this nursing home didn't excel in nursing hours, it actually surprised us in some of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding serious falls. This place was above average in this statistic, which was one redeeming quality we found in this area.
