Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our short-term care grade. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. This facility is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. It supplied approximately one and a half times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Washington in this area with 69.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an B+. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility boasts a really impressive 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, of which a significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls resulting in major injury, this nursing home performed as well as any nursing home the state.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is not a bad grade in this area. With our long-term care assessment, we focus more on the volume of care offered by a nursing home, as well as some quality statistics. On top of looking at the above average level of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were pleased by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is above average. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
