Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this nursing home excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the elite quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. For example, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.25094 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 3.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of patients.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This score is based on the place's recent inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is far more care than what is offered by most facilities. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its patients sustaining falls leading to major injury, this facility performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. This facility received a better than average short-term care score this year, with a B-. While this is not nearly as dominant as a few of its other grades, this is still a decent score in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 30.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
