Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are virtually flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This facility received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This place excelled in two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than the average facility. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Illinois in this area with 65.4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in determining our score in this category. This place provides an impressive 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Out of this total, more than one fourth of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We apply more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses in calculating our nursing grades. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this nursing home also performed admirably in our long-term care category. We gave it an A- for that area. This wrapped up truly elite profile. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.442894 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. This nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
