Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility was given high marks in the area of long-term care as well. Indeed, it received one of our strongest grades in that category with a score of A. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life or death health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. In fact, we gave it one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of B. In our short-term care score, we try to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last area we scored was nursing. This facility was awarded an impressive nursing score this year, with a grade of C. While this is not as elite as many of its other grades, this remains an acceptable rating for that area. Our nursing rating includes quite a few components, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also considered a few quality-based measures in this category. Although this nursing home didn't rank well in terms of its nursing hours, it fared much better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than average. This is generally a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented with better nursing care.
