Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This particular facility provided 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to providing impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any facility in the nation in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This score is based on the facility's recent inspections. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a grade of of A+ for its long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered in addition to this nursing home's impressive nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for seniors. This combination proved to be effective as this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.2 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B. Believe it or not, this was this facility's weakest category. A facility is doing something right when their poorest grade still outperforms most nursing homes. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 26.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
