Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this area. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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

Grade: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this facility is that it received a favorable long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category score. In this area, we gave this facility a B+. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.54338 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger grades in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services To have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final area we looked at is nursing, which ended up being a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this facility a D for nursing, rendering this the nursing home's least impressive category. We would nevertheless suggest that you consider all of a facility's category grades. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
