Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. It performed as well as just about any nursing home with 71.5 percent of its residents returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this metric.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is far more care than what is provided by most facilities. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in several quality measures we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by providing better nursing care and a system of turning residents more frequently.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was long-term care. This facility was given a better than average nursing score in our assessment, with a B. Even though this isn't nearly as strong as a few of its other grades, this is nevertheless one of the more impressive scores for this category. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the very impressive nursing care provided by this facility, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.27586 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
