Nurse Quality
In addition to performing well in its overall score, this facility earned even higher grades in nursing. In fact, it received one of our best grades in this category with an A-. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our score in this area. This facility provided 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which was among the better totals we found. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering falls which lead to serious injury, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other achievements is its first-rate short-term care score. We awarded them one of our most impressive grades in that area, with a score of A-. Short-term care scores are crucial for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 42.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to this facility's impressive nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 2.7 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
Turning to the last category we looked at, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Our inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 4 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.
