Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.54128 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this area, this figure may be skewed for some facilities due to some of the medical complexity of residents.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. However, we wouldn't judge this facility based only on a single weak area, since it was given several very strong grades in other areas. Our short-term care ratings are critical for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this place offered less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
