Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ inspection score. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to point out the fact that this facility was awarded a top-shelf grade of A in our long-term care category. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.23664 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our next area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for its short-term care score. This is a very impressive rating. In computing these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This was more of a strength for this facility. It fared as well as just about any facility in Kansas in this area with 66.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated is nursing. We awarded this nursing home one of our better grades in this area, with a grade of B. Even though this isn't as dominant as several of this nursing home's other grades, it is nevertheless a perfectly acceptable score. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility 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 state 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 system of turning patients at least once a day.
