Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for its short-term care grade. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This place is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. It supplied about 50% more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the nation with 68.2 percent of its residents returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this metric.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this nursing home's impressive resume, we gave this facility an A for inspections. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. 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 score consists of many components, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering falls leading to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any facility the nation. Avoiding major falls is typically an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, this facility received a high-end long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ in this category, completing one of our more impressive profiles. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.53571 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.52 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
