Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered on top of this nursing home's quality nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 1.85 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a fine short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be this facility's second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the nation with 54.7 percent of its patients returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The last area we looked at was nursing, where this facility was awarded a grade of B+. This completed a very strong report card. Very few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in all four categories. There are a number of subcategories within this grade. Many of these subcategories reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. In addition to 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 statistics as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
