Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We also would like to point out the fact that this nursing home has earned nearly flawless government inspections recently. We gave them an A in this area. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. 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: A-minus

Adding to its top-shelf profile, this facility also received a superb short-term care score, with a grade of A-. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was given a top-shelf grade of A- in our long-term care category. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.23664 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to the next category, this facility was given a very strong nursing rating. We gave it a grade of B+ in that area, completing one of our finer report cards. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
