Hanna House Skilled Nursing Ce

In addition to being a great nursing home overall, it also received A+ inspections recently. Its inspections are virtually flawless. Our inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility also was awarded an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few facilities to receive more than one A+ category scores. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 7.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Turning the page to our third category, this facility was awarded first-rate long-term care score. In fact, it received a grade of A in that category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We weren't able to track down information on vaccination rates. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

In the last category we looked at, this facility was given a very strong grade of A in our nursing category. With this score, the facility wrapped up a straight A report card. The nursing score is based on many components, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
