Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem 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
Adding to its first-rate performance in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A for its long-term care score. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.68652 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.96 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. The nursing rating analyzes many components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next area, this facility was given a respectable short-term care score. Even though this isn't as impressive as some of its other category grades, this is really not a major area of concern. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 31.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
