Nurse Quality
On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in nursing, where it earned a grade of A. The nursing rating assesses many subcategories, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. With 5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Finally, this facility also excelled in several quality measures we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category.
Facility Inspections
Turning to inspections, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being difficult to assess the place in the area of inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It performed better than most facilities in this area with 52.7 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, less than half of their short-stay patients ever return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed proved to be this nursing home's poorest category. Nevertheless, even its lowest point would be a highlight for most facilities. We gave it an above average grade of B in long-term care. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to offering very favorable levels of nursing care, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.723755 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
