Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having deficiency data for this nursing home, it is a challenge to really evaluate it in the area of inspections.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility an A+. Our nursing rating is based on quite a few factors, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is much more care than what is offered by most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care. This facility also was awarded an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is generally a meaningful measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the overwhelming majority of facilities with 63.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. We awarded it a B+ for that area. This completed a very impressive profile. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the impressive nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.85714 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
