Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this very important category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ nursing grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 7.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the more impressive totals we found. In addition, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of providing high levels of care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With below five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the state in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strength for this nursing home was long-term care, where it was given an A+ rating. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. On top of very favorable nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination statistics is superb as well. Indeed, this nursing home vaccinated 99.32886 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.79 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category we analyzed, this nursing home received an impressive grade grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this grade, the facility wrapped up a first-rate profile. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of 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 last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 39.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home rather than remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
