Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.65 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A-. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an impressive grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, this facility was given an extremely favorable short-term care grade. Although this isn't nearly as elite as several of its other category grades, this remains one of our better scores we offer. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. 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 final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
