This place provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is far more care than what is offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any facility the country in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received an A+ for its long-term care score. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Even though we determined this nursing home had an impressive quantity of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be a bit low. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 64.44444 percent of its patients. This is one figure we would really like to see this facility improve on. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.07 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this nursing home also excelled in the short-term care category. We gave it a B+ for this category. This rounded out a very strong profile. In forming these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
