Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. This facility's vaccination statistics were a bit weaker than a few of its other datapoints in this area, such as its nursing hours data. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 65.57377 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement in this area in the future. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.55 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility has earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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
This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This turned out to be more of a strength for this facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Missouri with 59 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this facility was given a highly favorable nursing score. We awarded it a grade of B+ in this category, wrapping up one of our finer profiles. Our nursing category is based on quite a few factors, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 6.1 hours per resident on a daily basis. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home offers. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
