On top of offering elite levels of nursing care and other staffing, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is also far higher than the average nursing home. This combination proved to be effective as this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
We gave this facility an A for inspections. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final area, we awarded this facility an A for its short-term care grade. This rounded out a very impressive profile. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it provided more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility.
