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 the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This place is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. In fact, it offered approximately one and a half times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. This is what we like to find when grading a nursing home in this category. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in the country in this area with 73.1 percent of its residents returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the facility's recent government inspections. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing rating analyzes many subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This was one of the more impressive totals we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generallY be prevented with better nursing care and a policy of regularly moving patients to prevent bed sores.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for our long-term care score. This topped off a very favorable report card. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. This nursing home's vaccination records weren't as favorable as its nursing hours. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 69.318184 percent of its residents. We'd like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.86 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home was close to average in this area.
