Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Hawaii in this area with 66.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. The nursing category weighs quite a few subcategories, many of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Approximately a quarter of that care was provided by registered nurses, which are among the most highly skilled nurses. Both of these statistics easily beat out the national average. Lastly, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also earned excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best scores in that area, with an impressive grade of A. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. 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
Moving on to the final area, this nursing home was given an excellent long-term care rating. In fact, we gave it an A- in that area, rounding out a straight A profile. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
