Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This facility excelled at the highest level in two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than a typical facility. This is generally an encouraging sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the country with 59.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with an A+. This is one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our next category, this top-shelf facility also was superb in the area of long-term care. In this area, we awarded it a A+. Only a small group of facilities performed better in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the elite quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were happy with the facility's vaccination data. For example, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.11504 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. The last statistic we assessed is its hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.23 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
In the final category we assessed, this facility was awarded a very favorable grade of A- in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility completed a straight A profile. Nursing scores are mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day, of which a significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
