All Saints Sub-Acute & Skilled Nursing

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Not many nursing homes fared better in that area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor dings aren't the end of the world.

Another one of this facility's impressive category scores came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are likely more important for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.

The next category we graded is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is a decent grade in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
