Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A+. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provides an incredible 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day. 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 care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With under 5 percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is usually a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by providing better nursing care and having a system of moving residents more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to emphasize the fact that this facility was given a high-end grade of A in our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the impressive level of care provided by nurses and other staff at this facility, we also were pleased by the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.47 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
In our final category, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for our short-term care rating. This rounded out a first-rate profile. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. 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. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. It fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 50.6 percent of its patients returning home.
