Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. We looked at the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This place provided 7.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, 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 really impressed by these statistics. In addition to offering impressive levels of care, this nursing home was also above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency data, it is a challenge to really assess the place in terms of this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care scores are presumably most meaningful for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This facility elevated its score in this category by providing more care from registered nurses than the typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed turned out to be this facility's worst category. However, even its worst category would be a highlight for many facilities. We gave it a strong grade of B for our long-term care category. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered on top of this facility's quality nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for seniors. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
