Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home in the state in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few facilities to be awarded several A+ category grades. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that returned home from this facility. It performed as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 60.4 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this metric.
Facility Inspections
Racking up yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category, this facility also was given a first-rate long-term care grade, with an A. This topped off an elusive straight A profile. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as impressive as its nursing hours data. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.69149 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. The last datapoint we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 2.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
