Short-term Care Quality
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home received high marks in our short-term care rating as well. It received our highest grade in that category with an A+. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This nursing home is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. In fact, it supplied approximately 1.5 times as many registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. This is what we look for when assessing a nursing home in this category. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Washington in this area with 60.7 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides an impressive 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Out of this total, more than one fourth of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. We add more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses in calculating our nursing scores. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last area, we gave this facility an A+ for its long-term care grade. This completed a very strong profile. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.51923 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
