Nurse Quality
In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This place boasts a really impressive 5.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. This is one of the higher totals of nursing hours we found. On top of providing high levels of care, this place also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With below five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers could be prevented by providing better nursing care and having a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its long-term care score. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. This facility's vaccination data weren't as strong as its nursing hours. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.56604 percent of its residents. We'd like to see some improvement in this area next year. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of A for that category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem 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.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home was given an A-. This wrapped up a very impressive profile. Few facilities received an A- or higher in all four categories. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is typically a reliable assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home rather than remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
