Nurse Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This particular nursing home provided 6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the higher figures we found. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any nursing home the country in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a 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
Another strength for this nursing home was long-term care, where it received an A+ score. This is simply as strong as it gets in this category. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered on top of this nursing home's impressive nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.5098 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is short-term care. We gave this facility one of our higher scores in this area, with a B. While this was not as high as some of this nursing home's other grades, it is still a positive grade. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 40.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
