Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Our nursing score weighs numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as good measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. 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. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 39.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in that area. Our long-term care ratings are essential for people looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.0991 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.61 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
