Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home excelled in our nursing category. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. When determining our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This place provides an incredible 6.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Long-term Care Quality
This top notch facility also was superb in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A+. Very few facilities fared better in this area. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the elite quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the facility's vaccination statistics. By way of example, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.145294 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. This combination proved to be effective as this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Building on its strong assessment, this facility also received a strong short-term care score, with a grade of A. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than a typical facility. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared better than most facilities in this area with 55 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also received excellent inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in that area, with an A. Few nursing homes received an A- or better in every single category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
