Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in that area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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

Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it was given an impressive long-term care score. In fact, this wound up being its second best category score. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 65.55556 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B- in this category. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. 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 final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded is nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our nursing rating assesses a handful of factors, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
