Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home also earned nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Of this total, nearly one quarter of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most highly trained levels of nurses. Finally, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our next area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for its short-term care score. This is a very impressive rating. In computing these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This facility excelled at the highest level in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is an excellent sign. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 40.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home rather than remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was this facility's worst category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of C for long-term care. In forming these long-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of providing quality levels of nurse staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.72603 percent of its patients. This percentage is higher than many nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.62 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
