Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this place an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its high-end short-term care score. We gave them one of our most favorable scores in that area, with a score of A-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is frequently a solid measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Iowa in this area with 58 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing score analyzes a handful of factors, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a C. This is this nursing home's least impressive category. This is nevertheless not a poor grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.48866 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
