Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great facility is that it earned a strong short-term care grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. It performed as well as just about any nursing home in the country in this area with 74.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility has earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this area. Inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's government inspections. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility received a strong score of A- in our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the next area, this facility also performed well in the nursing category. In fact, we gave it a B+ in this category. This wrapped up a very strong report card. Our nursing rating consists of quite a few factors, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
