Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it earned a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave it a grade of A. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility offers an extremely impressive 5.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is among the better figures in the state. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several quality measures we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we looked at is short-term care. This facility received a very favorable short-term care grade. We awarded them a strong strong of A- in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It fared as well as just about any facility in Kansas in this area with 58.2 percent of its residents returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B-. Although this ended up being its weakest category score, this is nevertheless not the end of the world. Long-term care ratings are meaningful for patients looking for personal care. In addition to providing favorable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.27007 percent of its residents. This percentage is better than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
