Millennium Institute for Advance Nursing Care

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is frequently a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients more often.

The next category we analyzed is long-term care. Adding to its top-shelf profile, this nursing home also excelled in that category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of of A in that category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided data regarding vaccinations. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Wrapping up this nursing home's impressive resume, we gave this facility a score of A- for our inspections rating. With this grade, the facility completes its straight A report card. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
