Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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
This high end facility also was superb in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A+. Only a small group of facilities performed better in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of offering elite levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This percentage is also much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.83 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 excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This place boasts a really impressive 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is usually an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided with better nursing care and a policy of regularly turning patients to avoid bed sores.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category, this nursing home received another A+ for its short-term care grade, topping off a truly spectacular profile of straight A+'s in all of our categories. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This place excelled at the highest level in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility offered about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the typical nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 53.6 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
