Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong facility overall, it also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are virtually flawless. Inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our short-term care grade. Short-term care scores are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care grades this year. In fact, we gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a score of B+. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 86.41305 percent of its patients. This is a few points below what we expected but still a decent figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next category we scored was nursing. This facility was given a very good nursing grade this year, with a grade of C. Even though this is not nearly as impressive as many of its other category grades, this is still a respectable rating for that area. The nursing rating consists of several subcategories, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We especially look at the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
