Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is it earned an impressive inspection grade. Inspections ended up being its best category. In this area, we gave this nursing home an A. Our inspection grades are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
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 score is largely tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Roughly one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most highly skilled levels of nurses. These are both impressive figures, which typically correlates with quality care. Lastly, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. For example, it performed as well as any facility the nation in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as good measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our next category, we awarded this facility a grade of A for our long-term care rating. This is a superb rating. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.8 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
In our last category, we awarded this facility an A for its short-term care grade. This wrapped up a very favorable profile. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
