Facility Inspections
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded strong scores in the area of long-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our most superb scores in that category with a area of A-. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.595505 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.78 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. The nursing score weighs a handful of datapoints, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed turned out to be this facility's poorest category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- in our short-term care category. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is more often than not a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. It performed decently in this area, with 45.1 percent of its residents returning home.
