Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to note its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A+ in this area. In our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Nursing grades are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Illinois in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a resident at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the category of long-term care, we assess the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.93048 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Lastly, we looked at this facility's inspection score This was not one of this nursing home's stronger areas. We gave it a C in this category. This isn't a terrible grade in this category. It simply wasn't as favorable as some of this place's other category grades. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This facility had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
