Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it earned an A+ in short-term care. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This place fared as well as just about any nursing home in Hawaii in this metric with 76.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to providing impressive levels of care, this nursing home was also above average in several of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. For example, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These are generally good measures of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection scores are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a B-. Although this ended up being its weakest category rating, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. Long-term care grades are used to judge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. One of the data points we considered in addition to this facility's impressive nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.72449 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.83 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
