Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered on top of this nursing home's quality nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.4898 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility received high marks in the area of nursing. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Nursing grades are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is among the highest totals in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by both of these figures. On top of providing high levels of care, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These datapoints are generally reliable measures of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth area we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given an A. This rounded out a very impressive report card. Not many nursing homes earned an A- or higher in every single category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most critical for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home rather than remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
