Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides an incredible 8.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this place 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 place the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note the fact that this nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. We gave them an exemplary score of A+ in this area. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home is the gold standard in terms of skilled nursing staffing. The facility provided roughly one and a half times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 61.7 percent of its patients returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this metric.
Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home received an above average long-term care rating in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this was not as dominant as a few of its other scores, this is nevertheless a decent score in that area. Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for individuals in need of more traditional services related to personal care. One of the factors we considered in addition to this nursing home's quality nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 2.34 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most facilities due to it having some more complex patients.
