Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of providing very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.479164 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.85 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility is close to average in this area.
Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider 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.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.3 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home offers. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of A. This completed a very favorable profile. Not many nursing homes received an A- or better in every single category. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is certainly a great sign. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 49.4 percent of its patients able to return home.
