Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We gave them a grade of A+ in this category. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to patient-friendly nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination records is as good as it gets also. In fact, this facility vaccinated 98.6755 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 3.36 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes based on the medical complexity of patients.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not 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.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. We scrutinized the levels of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is much more care than what is provided by most places. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several quality measures we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and having a system of turning patients more often.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst category is short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. For this category, we awarded this facility a D. We want to to draw your attention to this potential area of weakness, however, you shouldn't over-emphasize a single weak category either. With our short-term care rating, we seek to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this place's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 45.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
