Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received an A+ in short-term care. Short-term care scores are critical for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Utah in this area with 64.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's government inspections. We awarded it an A- for that category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor dings are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by these figures. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With under 5 percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any facility the country in this category. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers could be prevented by offering better nursing care and having a policy of moving patients more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home was awarded a very strong long-term care rating. We awarded it a grade of B+ in that category, finishing off one of our better report cards. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of providing very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. This combination proved to be successful as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. While it had 2.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most facilities since it had more complex patients.
