Facility Inspections
On top of performing well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was superb in our long-term care category. We gave them an elite score of A+ in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered after this facility's impressive nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for seniors. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is much more care than what is provided by most places. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the number of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a strong short-term care rating this year, with a grade of B-. While this wasn't nearly as strong as many of its other scores, this is nevertheless a decent rating for this area. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 21.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
