Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them 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
This nursing home also excelled in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Not many nursing homes fared better in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of offering elite levels of nursing care and other staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.62069 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was elite in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Only a select group of facilities received a better grade in this category. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this place's strong grade in this area is that it provides a significantly larger volume of hours of physical therapy than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that it performed better than most facilities in the country in this area with 52.4 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility also performed admirably in the nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in this category. This wrapped up a very strong report card. Our nursing category assesses quite a few data points, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.3 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other place provides. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
