Facility Inspections
On top of being a great facility overall, it also received A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. 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 achievements in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for its long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.77465 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to avoid negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. One of this facility's strengths is that it provides more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses to each resident. This is really the gold standard in this metric, as it's roughly 50% higher than the average facility's level of registered nurse staffing. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our next area, this facility was given a high-end nursing score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in this area, wrapping up one of our finer report cards. There are a variety of subcategories within this area. Most of these criteria reflect staffing levels. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. This is one of the higher totals of nursing hours we found at any facility. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
