Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it received a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category. In this area, we gave this facility an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category grade. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Nursing scores are mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Finally, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we assessed is long-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to score a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 93.567245 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we expected but still a decent figure. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
