Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home excelled in our shot-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Rhode Island in this area with 58.9 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents ever return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many high-end scores, this nursing home received a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a score of A in that area. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.381065 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. This place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.53 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. We gave it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our best grades. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last category, this facility also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that category. This completed a very impressive profile. Nursing ratings are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This place provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient 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 figures. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
