Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite nursing home overall, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given strong marks in the area of short-term care. As a result, it was given one of our most impressive grades in that category with a grade of A+. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Rhode Island in this area with 71.4 percent of its residents returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at is long-term care. This facility also was awarded an A+ long-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to receive several A+ category scores. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
In the final category we graded, this facility received an impressive grade grade of A in our nursing category. With this grade, the nursing home finished off a straight A profile. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
