Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the impressive nursing hours provided by this nursing home, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.346405 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. This combination proved to be successful as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.66 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides an incredible 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly moving patients to avoid bed sores.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care, where this facility received a grade of A. This finished off a very strong profile. Very few nursing homes received an A- or better in every category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This nursing home excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than the typical facility. This is often a very favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
