Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
We also would like to note that this nursing home excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an A+ in this area. The nursing rating analyzes quite a few components, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 6 hours per patient each day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other place offers. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this place performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and having a protocol of turning residents even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home was given elite marks in the area of long-term care. Consequently, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of providing very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. This combination proved to be successful as this place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.69 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a impressive short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be this nursing home's third strongest category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Short-term care grades are typically employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 53.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Lastly, this nursing home also received excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best scores in that area, with an A-. Few other facilities can boast of receiving an A- or better in all four categories. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
