Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.15 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a nearly flawless government inspection. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. This was one of the few places to receive multiple A+ category grades. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C. This actually proved to be this facility's least impressive area. This is still nothing to be ashamed of. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 32.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
