Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.8 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any facility in the country in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an A+ long-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to be given several A+ category scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered on top of this facility's quality nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.16 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Amazingly, we also awarded this nursing home yet another A+ in the area of inspections. Our inspection scores are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate 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 looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home was given an A. This wrapped up an elite profile. Very few facilities earned an A- or higher in every single category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. 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. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. It performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 55.6 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
