Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
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. Our nursing rating is largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We were really impressed by these statistics. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed is short-term care. Contributing to its superb profile, this nursing home also performed well in this category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of of A- in that area. Our short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It fared respectably with 46 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is long-term care. We awarded this facility one of our more favorable grades in this area, with a B. While this was not as strong as many of this nursing home's other grades, it is still a perfectly acceptable grade. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the impressive quantity of care provided by aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were happy with the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.36508 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.42 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
