Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is more often than not a reliable assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Remarkably, this nursing home provides roughly one and a half times as many hours of services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is generally an encouraging sign. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Washington in this area with 74.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Nursing grades are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This place provides an incredible 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to providing impressive levels of nursing care, this place was also above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the third category, this facility also received a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the very impressive nursing care provided by this facility, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.58506 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.52 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to inspections, it appears this facility has earned quality government inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a grade of B in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
