To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms 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. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned to the community from this facility. This place outperformed the overwhelming majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 65.3 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Not many nursing homes performed as well in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. It doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its first-rate profile, this nursing home also received a strong long-term care grade, with a grade of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.2684 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The fourth area we graded is nursing, where this facility was given an A-. This completed a very impressive report card. Few nursing homes received an A- or better in every category. Nursing ratings are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
