Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.02439 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. This facility was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.7 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received a virtually flawless inspection. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A+. This is one of the few places to receive multiple A+ category grades. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This first-rate 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 grade features a host of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is better than what is offered by most places. Lastly, this place also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. For example, it fared as well as any facility the nation when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We view these datapoints as good measures of the quality of nursing care being provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was short-term care, where this facility received a grade of B-. This actually proved to be this facility's weakest area. This is nevertheless not the end of the world. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 29.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
