Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also received A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an A-. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place boasts a really impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls resulting in major injury, this place performed as well as any facility the state.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on our next category, this facility was given an excellent long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the elite quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. By way of example, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.83282 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.27 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth area we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B+. This rounded out a very strong profile. Few facilities earned a B+ or higher in every category. Short-term care grades are critical for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it provided substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home.
