Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In determining these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home excelled at the highest level in two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 73.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This high end nursing home also dominated in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A+. Few facilities fared better in this area. 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 very favorable nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination record is as good as it gets as well. In fact, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This combination proved to be successful as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Continuing with its first-class performance, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The fourth category we rated is nursing, where this facility was awarded an A. This topped off a very favorable profile. Not many facilities received an A- or better in all four categories. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provided 4.8 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is among the highest figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We were very impressed by both of these statistics. On top of providing high levels of care, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With under five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is usually an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
