Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
On the list of its many dominant scores, this facility was given a strong long-term care score. In fact, it received a score of A- in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.48718 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.75 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place was above the national average. Finally, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
In our final category, this facility also was given a first-rate short-term care grade, with a B+. This topped off an elite report card. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This place fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 51.9 percent of its residents returning home.
