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. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. 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 performed as well as just about any nursing home in Illinois in this area with 69.3 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided 4.7 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is among the more impressive figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We were very impressed by these figures. In addition to offering high levels of care, this facility also performed well in many of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls leading to serious injury, this facility outpaced the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was nursing, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. This really was one of just a couple of weak links in an otherwise strong profile. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to offering respectable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. These scores were obviously more favorable than a few of its other data points in this category. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
