Nurse Quality
We also want to note that this nursing home excelled in our nursing grade. We gave them an A+ in this category. The nursing grade is based on many subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 4.7 hours of nursing care per patient each day, of which a significant percentage was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. This is among the better totals of nursing hours we were able to find. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any facility in the country in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its first-rate resume, this facility also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in the area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This facility elevated its grade in this category by providing more care from registered nurses to its patients than a typical facility. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. It fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 54.3 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received first-rate government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with an impressive grade of B+. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home was given a respectable long-term care grade. Even though this wasn't quite as elite as a few of its other grades, this is really nothing to be ashamed of. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. In addition to favorable nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination statistics are favorable as well. In fact, it vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.57 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
