Enniscourt Nursing Care

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care rating. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.23664 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our nursing grade is based on several factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

In the last category we graded, this nursing home was awarded an impressive grade grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this score, the nursing home rounded out a first-rate profile. Short-term care ratings are important for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
