Facility Inspections
On top of performing well overall, this facility also received nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an A+ for its short-term care score. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Illinois in this area with 67.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. With 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining falls which lead to serious injury, this place performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. Although this wound up being its worst category rating, this is still not a poor grade. Long-term care grades are commonly used to gauge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. After looking at the impressive nursing hours provided by this facility, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.95918 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.41 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
