Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a first-rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely most critical for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This facility is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. The facility supplied roughly 50% more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical nursing home. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Illinois in this area with 63.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections proved to be one of its best category grades. We awarded this facility a grade of A-. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. A lone deficiency is not anything to panic about.
Nurse Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing scores are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.8 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Of this total, more than one fourth of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most skilled levels of nurses. We apply more weight to hours provided by skilled nurses in calculating our nursing ratings. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This place fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is this nursing home's poorest area. However, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of C for long-term care. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care rather than the skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 85.945946 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly below average. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.45 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
