Facility Inspections

In addition to being a strong facility overall, this nursing home excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B+. Our nursing grade includes many subcategories, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades.

Short-term Care Quality

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. In fact, we gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we scored is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a D in the area of long-term care, leaving this as the nursing home's worst category grade. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
