Nurse Quality

This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent nursing rating. We gave them an A in this category. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

This facility also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the facility's recent government inspections. We gave it a grade of A- for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility also was awarded a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable figure. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
