Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite nursing home overall, this facility also performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes fared as well in this area. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this nursing home earned an excellent nursing score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that area. Our nursing rating is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.83 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade in that area, with a grade of B-. While this isn't on par with several of its other scores, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 30.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
