Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a 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
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.03509 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. This facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. The nursing score analyzes many factors, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this datapoint. Avoiding serious falls is often a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of C for this area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed respectably with 47.8 percent of its patients returning home.
