Facility Inspections

On top of performing well overall, this nursing home also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being 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

Compounding its dominant accomplishments in other areas, we awarded this facility a grade of A for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. When calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we graded is nursing, ended up being this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. This was one of the few weak points of an otherwise impressive profile. In computing our long-term care ratings, we look at the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
