Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a meaningful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this facility. This place fared as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 70.3 percent of its residents returning home.
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. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is among the higher totals in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We are really impressed by both of these figures. On top of providing high levels of care, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls resulting in major injury, this nursing home performed as well as any facility the country. Preventing serious falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature of this nursing home is its inspection rating. In that category, we awarded this facility an A-. Inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is this facility's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- for long-term care. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 92.72727 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we anticipated but still a respectable figure. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
