Facility Inspections
In addition to being an elite facility overall, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few places fared this well in this area. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional reason we graded this nursing home so favorably is that it was given an A+ long-term care grade. This is flat out as good as it gets in this area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of offering very impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.23664 percent of its patients. This percentage is also much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. While it had 2.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the middle of the pack due to it having more complex patients.
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. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the better figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to offering impressive levels of nursing care, this place also performed well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility outpaced the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. This facility was awarded an impressive nursing score this year, with a grade of B. Although this was not nearly as dominant as some of its other category grades, this is still one of the better grades for that category. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong grade in this area is it provides more care from registered nurses than the typical nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 18.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
