Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities performed more favorably in this category. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This place offered more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a facility in this category. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation with 64.6 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Nursing grades are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. This really is one of the few weak links in a strong profile. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 92.30769 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last datapoint we looked at is its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 1.81 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is a higher hospitalization rate than most nursing homes, but it's not as bad as we feared it might be.
