Saint Anne Home

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility excelled at short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of A for that category. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Turning to inspections, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. The nursing rating includes quite a few datapoints, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Switching gears to the next area, this facility also excelled in the long-term care category. We gave it a grade of A- for that area. This finalized truly elite report card. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 98.45201 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
