Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
The main reason this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A+. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This particular facility provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This was one of the more impressive figures we found. In addition, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to offering high levels of care, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is usually a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly moving residents to avoid bed sores.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 31.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by a facility's residents. On top of offering impressive levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 2.1 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.
Facility Inspections
The last category we looked at is inspections. This did not end up being one of this nursing home's stronger areas. We gave it a score of D in this category. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we typically take this one very seriously. One of the most significant factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to point out that this facility received significant government fines exceeding $50,000. This typically suggests that government inspectors became fed up after multiple years of failed government inspections.
