Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it does not look like we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. We looked at the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This particular nursing home provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Finally, this place also excelled in several quality measures we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. Adding to its high-end profile, this facility also performed well in this area. In fact, we gave it a of A for the category. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country with 62 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of A. This finished off an elite profile. Few nursing homes earned an A- or higher in every single category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. On top of providing elite levels of nursing care, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.342545 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. This combination proved to be effective as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
