Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in determining our rating in this area. This particular nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This was one of the better totals we found. In addition, 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 care, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home in Idaho in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this category. In our short-term care score, we seek to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This facility is above average in terms of both its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 43.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at ended up being this facility's weakest category. However, even in its worst category we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C for our long-term care category. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After assessing the very respectable amount of nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which appears to be higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
