Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its dominant profile, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, it received a grade of A in that area. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more meaningful for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning the page to our next category, we gave this facility a score of A- for its long-term care score. This is a superb score. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 93.44262 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final area we analyzed was nursing. This nursing home was given an impressive nursing grade in our assessment, with a grade of B. While this is not nearly as strong as some of its other grades, this remains one of the more favorable grades for this category. Our nursing category analyzes many subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
