Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. The facility offered approximately one and a half times as many registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes with 64.2 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided 5.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is among the higher figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by both of these figures. On top of providing high levels of care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls leading to serious injury, this nursing home performed as well as any facility the country.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned a nearly flawless government inspection report. It earned one of our top scores in that area with a grade of A+. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The fourth category we scored is long-term care, where this nursing home received a B+. This rounded out a very impressive report card. Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or higher in all four categories. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After assessing the impressive nursing hours and other staffing provided by this facility, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.27586 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
