Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections are virtually flawless. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our nursing rating is mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an incredible 5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With under 5 percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Wisconsin in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was superb in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Only a select group of facilities fared better in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.15385 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home received an extremely favorable short-term care grade. We gave it a grade of A in that category, rounding out a straight A profile. In our short-term care rating, we seek to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. It performed respectably with 45.8 percent of its patients returning home.
