Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out that this facility has received near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an A+ in this area. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient 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

Contributing to its fine profile, this facility also was given a strong short-term care grade, with a score of A-. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is more often than not a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, this facility also was given favorable long-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded it one of our stronger scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we assessed is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B-. While this proved to be its poorest category score, this is still not a major area of concern. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, we also factored in a few quality-based measures in this category. Although this facility did not rank well in terms of nursing hours, it fared much better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided with better nursing care.
