Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the category of short-term care. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 67.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing score is primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is higher than what is offered by most places. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home the state in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Facility Inspections
Tallying yet another strong category grade, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Few facilities fared better in this area. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final category we rated, this nursing home was given a very favorable grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home finished off an elite profile. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.68944 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.1 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
