Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 62.8 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A. There are several subcategories within this grade. Most of the criteria relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This was one of the more impressive totals we found. In addition, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. In addition to providing impressive levels of care, this nursing home also fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place outpaced the national average. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generallY be prevented with better nursing care and a policy of regularly moving residents to avoid bed sores.
Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C. Although this wound up being its worst category score, this is still not a poor grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After considering the impressive nursing care provided by this nursing home, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.3007 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which appears to be higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.13 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
