Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared this well in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an A+ for its long-term care score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 96.36363 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This place boasts a really impressive 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, of which a significant percentage was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. This is one of the higher totals of nursing hours we found at any facility. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place Nevada in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth area we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of A. This finished off a very impressive report card. Not many nursing homes received an A- or better in every single category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most important for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This facility is substantially above the national average in terms of its quantity of both registered nurse and physical therapy hours available to its residents. It offered roughly 1.5 times as much care per patient from both of these groups of skilled professionals than the average facility provided. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home rather than remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
