Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in this area, with an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This facility was satisfactory in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered a reasonable level of care from both physical therapists and registered nurses. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Illinois in this area with 57.1 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. There are quite a few factors within this grade. Most of the criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Illinois in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning residents more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our better grades in this area, with a B. This facility proved to be very solid in each category we looked at. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.68652 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.19 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the middle of the pack since it had some more complicated patients.
