Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Compounding its first-rate achievements in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A- for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more meaningful for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a favorable long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B+. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.20879 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a bit below what we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final area we scored was nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a B. Believe it or not, this turned out to be this facility's worst area. A nursing home is doing something right when it's weakest score still beats out most other nursing homes. In determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
