Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ inspection grade. This grade is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its strong profile, this facility also received a strong long-term care grade, with a score of A. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. This facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.53 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care, where this facility was awarded an A-. This topped off a very impressive report card. Only a select few facilities received an A- or better in all four categories. With our short-term care grade, we try to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This place performed as well as just about any facility in the country in this area with 58.6 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
