Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility fared very well in our long-term care category. We gave them an impressive score of A+ in this category. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this area with 54.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility also excelled in our nursing category. We gave it a B+ in that area. This finalized a very impressive profile. In computing our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place 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 the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning patients more frequently.
