Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also received A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections are nearly perfect. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. A deficiency-free inspection report is what we like to see.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. In determining our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.9 hours per resident daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other facility offers. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was short-term care. This nursing home was given a very positive short-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in the area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 38.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B. Believe it or not, this ended up being this facility's worst area. A facility is doing something right when their weakest score still is superior to most other nursing homes. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.0199 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
