St Anne's Salvatorian Campus

On top of earning a strong overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B+. In our short-term care score, we seek to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. When determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next area we rated is long-term care. In this area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of B-. This actually was this nursing home's weakest category. Our long-term care grades are based on a facility's amount of nursing care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
