Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this very important area. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility 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 CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Nursing scores are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This was one of the better figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this place was also above average in several of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a fine short-term care score. In fact, this is this nursing home's third most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A. Our short-term care scores are likely most critical for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this nursing home. It outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 55.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
In our final category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our long-term care rating. This wrapped up an elite profile. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the data points we considered after this nursing home's impressive nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.35 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was close to the middle of the pack since it had some more complicated patients.
