Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is as good as it gets in this category. Short-term care grades are often used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home with 70.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the place's inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This was one of the more impressive figures we found. In addition, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final area, this nursing home also was awarded an excellent long-term care grade, with a B+. This wrapped up a very impressive profile. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After considering the impressive nursing hours provided by this facility, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 97.59615 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
