Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great facility is that it received a very impressive long-term care rating. In this area, we gave this facility an A. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 90.75145 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this category. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a resident even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In the final category we scored, this facility was awarded an impressive grade grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this score, the facility completed a straight A report card. Our short-term care scores are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
