Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided 5.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is among the highest figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We were very impressed by these statistics. In addition to offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also fared well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility outpaced the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a dominant long-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being its third strongest category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 95.4023 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.53 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category we scored, this nursing home received an impressive grade grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home topped off an elite report card. Short-term care grades are important for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this facility's strengths is it offers more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses per patient. This is really the gold standard for this metric, as it's roughly 50% higher than the average place's level of registered nurse staffing. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home rather than remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
