Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to offering well above average levels of nurse staffing, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This percentage is also much higher than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be effective as this facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.39 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. With 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Lastly, this place also excelled in several quality measures we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category.
Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a B+. This topped off a very impressive profile. Few nursing homes earned a B+ or higher in every single category. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average facility. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 37.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
