Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes with 62.7 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
Tallying yet another strong category grade, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In our final area, we gave this nursing home an A- for our long-term care grade. This completed a very impressive report card. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. The last statistic we looked at was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.54 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
