All Saints Sub-Acute & Skilled Nursing

In addition to performing well overall, this nursing home also earned nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among this facility's other accomplishments is its dominant long-term care score. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of A. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. This nursing home impressed us in this area.

This nursing home also received a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B in this category. In our short-term care grade, we strive to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The last category we looked at is nursing. This facility was given an impressive nursing grade in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Although this is not quite as strong as several of its other scores, this is nevertheless a respectable grade for that area. The nursing score analyzes several data points, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
