Nurse Quality
On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. The nursing grade is based on many subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This place provides an incredible 5.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. For example, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility offers.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was elite in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. One reason for this facility's favorable score in this category is it provides more care from registered nurses than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. It performed decently in this area, with 47.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our stronger scores in that area, with a score of B. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to offering very impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.74425 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. This combination proved to be successful as this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning to the last category we assessed, this facility received a decent score in inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a score of B for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
