Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this area. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received superb marks in the area of short-term care. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with a score of A+. Short-term care scores are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this facility's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 57.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This place provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. About a quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most skilled nurses. This is an impressive percentage of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours performed by these types of nurses more in calculating our nursing scores. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our long-term care rating. This completed an elite profile. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.19 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
