Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also received an A+ in short-term care. Our short-term care grades are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types 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. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country with 69.2 percent of its residents returning home. This is a much better rate than most facilities.
Facility Inspections
The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This particular facility provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This was one of the highest figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this facility also fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this facility was given a very strong long-term care grade. Even though this isn't as strong as some of its other category grades, this is nevertheless one of the more impressive grades a facility can receive. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to really impressive nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination data was first-rate also. Indeed, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.58 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
