Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 3.71 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this category, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes based on the medical complexity of patients.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on our third area, we gave this facility a score of A for its short-term care grade. This is a first-rate grade. With our short-term care rating, we try to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. When we assessed this nursing home's nursing hours, we found it offered much more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation with 55 percent of its patients returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
In the last category we assessed, this nursing home received a very strong grade of A in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility rounded out a straight A profile. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This place provides an impressive 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Of this total, more than one quarter of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most highly trained levels of nurses. We apply more weight to hours provided by skilled nurses in computing our nursing scores. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients at least once a day.
