Nurse Quality
On top of earning a strong overall score, this facility performed well in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. We gave it an A- for that area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is more often than not a solid assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that it fared better than most nursing homes in the nation with 51.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home was given a B- in long-term care, which is a respectable score. Our long-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of care. This includes a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 74.36823 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was worse than we hoped. We found that this facility had 2.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number can be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents
