This nursing home vaccinated 99.0991 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the average nursing home. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 1.94 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the road in this area.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a virtually flawless government inspection. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. This is one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. The nursing grade is based on a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving patients even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This was this nursing home's least impressive category. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more meaningful for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 32.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
