Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. The last datapoint we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.18 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the facility's inspection reports. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. It does not look like we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our nursing rating weighs quite a few datapoints, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.8 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Out of this total, more than one quarter of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We add more weight to hours provided by skilled nurses in determining our nursing grades. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth area, this nursing home was given an excellent short-term care rating. In fact, we awarded it an A- in this area, resulting in this facility receiving straight A's. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. One of this place's strengths is registered nurse hours. This facility offers more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. It performed respectably with 48.7 percent of its patients returning home.
