Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this facility also received nearly flawless government inspections. Consequently, it received one of our best scores in that category with an A+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe 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
In addition, this facility was given elite marks in the area of long-term care. Consequently, it was given one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.72727 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.74 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility was just about middle of the pack in this area.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Iowa in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, this facility was awarded a decent short-term care grade. Although this is not quite as impressive as a few of its other grades, this is really not the end of the world. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 39.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
