Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is frequently a useful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. 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 percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in this area with 59.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an A+. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provides an incredible 5.6 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the state in this category. This is often a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers could be avoided by providing better nursing care and having a system of turning patients at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
Continuing with its amazing performance, this facility also received an A+ inspection rating. This is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was long-term care. This nursing home was given a strong long-term care score this year, with a B-. While this was not quite as dominant as some of its other category grades, this is still a respectable grade for this area. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. This facility's vaccination records were not as impressive as its number of nursing hours per resident. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 79.710144 percent of its residents. We'd like to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. Next, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.94 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not as bad.
