Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This place boasts a really impressive 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, of which a significant portion was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly highly skilled levels of nurses. This is one of the higher totals of nursing hours we were able to find. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With below 5 percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the place's government inspections. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our next category, this nursing home received an excellent short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this place's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it provides more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that it performed respectably in this metric with 46.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C. Although this turned out to be its worst category rating, this is still not a poor grade. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's personal care rather than the highly skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to assessing the very solid level of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were happy with the facility's vaccination data. By way of example, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.89474 percent of its patients, which is very respectable. This combination proved to be effective as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
