Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Although we determined this facility has an impressive volume of nursing care provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be somewhat low. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 58.42697 percent of its residents. This is one statistic we'd love to see this nursing home improve. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 2.15 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility received high marks in the area of nursing. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. There are a number of factors within this area. Many of these factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This was one of the better figures we found. In addition, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With below 5 percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is typically an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers could be prevented by providing better nursing care and having a protocol of turning residents more frequently.
Facility Inspections
Amazingly, we also awarded this nursing home yet another A+ in the area of inspections. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home also excelled in the short-term care category. We awarded it an A- in that area. This completed truly elite profile. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
