Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is frequently a useful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in this area with 69.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a top-shelf long-term care score. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's third best category score. In that category, this facility received a grade of A-. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the very impressive nursing care provided by this facility, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. This combination proved to be successful as this facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.71 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
In the final area, we awarded this nursing home a A+ for our nursing score. This finished off a very impressive profile. Our nursing grade includes quite a few components, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility boasts a really impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics 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 offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
