Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides an incredible 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. For example, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility offers.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its 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
This nursing home also was strong in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. In our short-term care rating, we seek to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home elevated its score in this category by providing more care from registered nurses than the typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is this nursing home's worst area. However, even its weakest link would likely be a strength for many nursing homes. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in long-term care. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. This facility's vaccination data lagged a bit behind a few of the other data points in this area, such as its nursing hours. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 82.97872 percent of its residents. We'd like to see some improvement in this area next year. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
