Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for short-term care. In our short-term care category, we try to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 64.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was elite in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Only a select group of nursing homes received a better grade in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of elite nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination records was first-rate as well. In fact, this nursing home vaccinated 98.4127 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this facility also performed well in our nursing category. We gave it an A in that area. This topped off a straight A report card. Our nursing rating is based on several components, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided 5.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is among the more impressive figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by both of these figures. On top of providing impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls resulting in major injury, this nursing home performed as well as any facility the state.
