Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 60.6 percent of its residents returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received a virtually flawless government inspection. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. This was one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of nursing care, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These statistics are generally good measures of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final category, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A- for that area. This finalized a straight A profile. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After looking at the significant amount of nursing hours provided by this nursing home, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
