Nurse Quality
We also would like to note that this nursing home excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an A+ in this area. The nursing rating analyzes quite a few components, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is better than the level of care offered by most places. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. For example, it fared as well as any facility Massachusetts in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these metrics as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an A+ for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is far higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 1.83 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Facility Inspections
Continuing with its amazing performance, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on its recent government inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a B+. This completed a very strong report card. Not many facilities received a B+ or higher in every single category. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
