Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home in the state in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received an A+ long-term care grade, making it one of the few facilities to be awarded several A+ category grades. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of really impressive nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination data was superb as well. In fact, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This facility also received an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive several A+ category scores. Short-term care grades are commonly used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than a typical nursing home. This is an encouraging sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 73.5 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this nursing home also earned virtually flawless inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection rating. This wrapped up its perfect A+ report card. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. It does not appear that 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.
