Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving an elite overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection score. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

Another reason we graded this nursing home so favorably is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as elite as it gets in this area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.73118 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also would like to note the fact that this facility was given a top-shelf grade of A in our short-term care category. Our short-term care grade is often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In the last category we looked at, this nursing home was awarded an impressive grade grade of A- in our nursing category. With this score, the facility finished off a straight A profile. In determining our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients more often.

German Center for Extended Care Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: A-minus

In German Center for Extended Care, 6.61% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This is the percent of residents who have had a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers, also referred to as bed sores, are often caused by residents staying in one position for too long. Better nursing protocols can reduce the number of pressure ulcers sustained by residents in a nursing home.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: D

In German Center for Extended Care, 3.77% of Patients had Serious Falls

This figure indicates the percent of long-term care patients who had a fall which caused severe injury. This is one of the statistics we use in computing our nursing grades.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: B-plus

In German Center for Extended Care, 2.05% of Patients had UTIs

This metric gauges the percentage of long-term stay residents which experienced a UTI. Although a higher rate of these infections could reflect poorly on a nursing home's nursing care, it can be problematic to compare different facilities due to nursing homes having inconsistent reporting standards.

Grade: B-plus

In German Center for Extended Care, 19.24% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This is an indication of the percentage of long-term care patients which are prescribed antipsychotic drugs. High levels of antipsychotic drug use may indicate a nursing home is using these drugs to subdue residents in scenarios where such medications are not medically required. Nevertheless, some facilities need to rely more on these drugs due to an increased number of patients with cognitive disorders.

Grade: A-minus

In German Center for Extended Care, 18.54% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This is a measure of the percentage of long-term patients who were administered antianxiety medication. These drugs are commonly used to treat residents suffering from anxiety and depression.

In German Center for Extended Care, 2.48% of Patients

This is a measure of the percent of long-term stay patients demonstrating depressive symptoms. Many would argue this is a reliable measure of quality of life.

Grade: A

In German Center for Extended Care, 91.39% of Patients

This tells you the percent of residents who were administered the pneumonia and flu vaccines. High vaccination rates should be standard at this point.

Residents Maintain Autonomy

This metric is a measure of the percent of long-term stay residents who required increased assistance with activities of daily living over time.

This tells you the percentage of patients that maintained mobility over time. Retaining mobility is usually a good sign for residents' health.

This metric measures the number of hospitalizations per thousand days of patient care.

Short-term Care: Rehospitalizations

Grade: A

In German Center for Extended Care, 15.75 Percentage of Residents Rehospitalized

This tells you the number of times residents are rehospitalized per thousand days of short-term care.

Short-term Care: ER Visits

Grade: A-plus

In German Center for Extended Care, 11.2 Percentage of Patients

This datapoint is a measure of the number of times residents are sent to the emergency room per thousand days of short-term patient care.

Short-term Care: Facilitates Functional Improvement

Grade: A

In German Center for Extended Care, 71.52% Percentage of Resident
