Nurse Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing rating. Our nursing score consists of many subcategories, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Finally, this place also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any facility the nation in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its dominant profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, it received a score of A in the area. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in this area with 59.8 percent of its residents returning home. This is a substantially higher rate than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Racking up yet another strong category grade, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a score of A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. This was this facility's least impressive category. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After looking at the very respectable amount of nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. This combination proved to be effective as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
