Nurse Quality

We would like to point out that this facility's nursing grade exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. The nursing grade includes numerous factors. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Illinois in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning patients more often.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

The third category we graded was long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B- in this area. In determining these long-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care grade of C. In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
